Dirac and Majorana edge states in graphene and topological superconductors Akhmerov, A.R.

The narrowing of the energy band width occupied by the edge state due to an edge potential may also be a possible explanation (amongst others [113]) for the fact that STM

Since all the existing readout schemes of a Majorana qubit [9, 130, 144–146] are measuring the full fermion parity of two vortices, and not just the parity of the fermion shared by

We have found that at sufficiently low excitation energies, local Andreev reflection by a pair of Majorana bound states is fully suppressed in favor of crossed Andreev reflection..

(8.1) relies on the fact that the electron or hole mode at the domain wall couples to a pair of Majorana modes, so that the full information encoded by the complex fermion c a

Here we show that the boundary between domains of opposite chirality (p x ˙ ip y ) in a chiral p-wave superconductor forms a one-way channel for electrical charge, in much the same

In conclusion, our analytical considerations and numerical simulations of a model Hamil- tonian [207, 208] of a disordered InAs wire on a superconducting substrate show three

The charge is transferred locally at the tunneling point in FQH effect, and is only well- defined in the ferromagnetic domain walls (i.e. the leads) in the topological insulator

We identify the vortex tunneling operators between two edge states as the disorder fields of the Ising model, and subsequently derive an effective Hamilto- nian for the flux
