Majorana fermions in topological superconductors with spin-orbit interaction
When a topological order is realized in a certain class of superconductors, it supports Majorana fermions on the edge or in the vortex core. Vortices with Majorana fermion modes are neither fermions nor bosons but non-Abelian anyons, obeying the non-Abelian statistics for which the exchange operations of particles are not commutative. Because of this remarkable feature, Majorana fermions plays ...
متن کاملNonlinear optomechanical detection for Majorana fermions via a hybrid nanomechanical system
: The pursuit for detecting the existence of Majorana fermions is a challenging task in condensed matter physics at present. In this work, we theoretically propose a novel nonlinear optical method for probing Majorana fermions in the hybrid semiconductor/superconductor heterostructure. Our proposal is based on a hybrid system constituted by a quantum dot embedded in a nanomechanical resonator. ...
متن کاملTowards quantum computation with Majorana fermions
In 1937 the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana proposed the existence of a massless, chargeless, spinless particle that is its own antiparticle. Such a Majorana fermion would have an extraordinarily large phase coherence time, making it an ideal building block for a quantum computer. However, no Majorana fermions are known to exist asfundamental particles. The recent discovery of topological sta...
متن کاملMajorana Fermions and Representations of the Braid Group
In this paper we study unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana Fermions. Majorana Fermions are represented by Majorana operators, elements of a Clifford algebra. The paper recalls and proves a general result about braid group representations associated with Clifford algebras, and compares this result with the Ivanov braiding associated with Majorana operators. The paper gen...
متن کاملProperties and Transport Charac - teristics of Majorana Fermions in Nanowires by Filip Anselm Rasmussen
Majorana fermions are quasiparticle excitations which are features of a two-dimensional quantum system in a so-called topological phase. Majorana fermions are non-Abelian anyons and the system therefore has a degenerate groundstate protected by a gap to the other excitations. It has been proposed that a system with Majorana fermions can be utilized for performing fault-tolerant quantum computat...
