چکیده
${}^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids realized in neutron stars are the largest topological quantum matters our Universe. We establish existence and stability of non-Abelian half-quantum vortices (HQVs) with strong magnetic fields. Using a self-consistent microscopic approach, we find that singly quantized vortex is energetically destabilized into pair two HQVs owing to strongly spin-orbit-coupled pairing. topologically protected Majorana fermion on each HQV, thereby providing two-fold anyons characterized by both fermions first homotopy group.

Non-Abelian statistics of half-quantum vortices in p-wave superconductors.
Excitation spectrum of a half-quantum vortex in a p-wave superconductor contains a zero-energy Majorana fermion. This results in a degeneracy of the ground state of the system of several vortices. From the properties of the solutions to Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in the vortex core we derive the non-Abelian statistics of vortices identical to that for the Moore-Read (Pfaffian) quantum Hall ...
متن کاملNon-Abelian vortices and non-Abelian statistics.
We study the interactions of non-abelian vortices in two spatial dimensions. These interactions have novel features, because the Aharonov-Bohm effect enables a pair of vortices to exchange quantum numbers. The cross section for vortex-vortex scattering is typically a multi-valued function of the scattering angle. There can be an exchange contribution to the vortex-vortex scattering amplitude th...

متن کاملDyonic Non-Abelian Vortices
We study three-dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs theories with and without a Chern-Simons interaction. We find that these theories admit a rich spectrum of vortex solitons carrying both a topological charge and a global flavour charge. We further derive a low-energy description of the vortex dynamics from a gauged linear sigma model on the vortex worldline.
متن کاملProbing the dynamics of spontaneous quantum vortices in polariton superfluids.
The experimental investigation of spontaneously created vortices is of utmost importance for the understanding of quantum phase transitions towards a superfluid phase, especially for two-dimensional systems that are expected to be governed by the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless physics. By means of time-resolved near-field interferometry we track the path of such vortices, created at random loca...
