Simulating the exchange of Majorana zero modes with a photonic system
The realization of Majorana zero modes is in the centre of intense theoretical and experimental investigations. Unfortunately, their exchange that can reveal their exotic statistics needs manipulations that are still beyond our experimental capabilities. Here we take an alternative approach. Through the Jordan-Wigner transformation, the Kitaev's chain supporting two Majorana zero modes is mappe...
متن کاملMajorana ghosts: From topological superconductor to the origin of neutrino masses, three generations and their mass mixing
The existence of three generations of neutrinos and their mass mixing are the deep mysteries of our universe. The history of neutrino physics can be traced back to Majorana’s elegant work on a real solution of the Dirac equation – known as the Majorana fermion. A cutting-edge step towards understanding the nature of neutrino has been taken by the experimental discovery of neutrino mass mixing d...
متن کاملMajorana Zero Modes in Solid State Systems
Title of dissertation: MAJORANA ZERO MODES IN SOLID STATE SYSTEMS Hoi Yin Hui, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Sankar Das Sarma Department of Physics Majorana zero modes are zero-energy excitations that are their own antiparticles, and obey non-Abelian statistics which could be harnessed for topological quantum computation. There are many theoretical proposals to ...
متن کاملMajorana bound states from exceptional points in non-topological superconductors.
Recent experimental efforts towards the detection of Majorana bound states have focused on creating the conditions for topological superconductivity. Here we demonstrate an alternative route, which achieves fully localised zero-energy Majorana bound states when a topologically trivial superconductor is strongly coupled to a helical normal region. Such a junction can be experimentally realised b...

متن کاملBallistic Majorana nanowire devices.
Majorana modes are zero-energy excitations of a topological superconductor that exhibit non-Abelian statistics1-3. Following proposals for their detection in a semiconductor nanowire coupled to an s-wave superconductor4,5, several tunnelling experiments reported characteristic Majorana signatures6-11. Reducing disorder has been a prime challenge for these experiments because disorder can mimic ...
