Braiding Majorana zero modes using quantum dots

Boosting Majorana zero modes

One-dimensional topological superconductors are known to host Majorana zero modes at domain walls terminating the topological phase. Their nonabelian nature allows for processing quantum information by braiding operations which are insensitive to local perturbations, making Majorana zero modes a promising platform for topological quantum computation. Motivated by the ultimate goal of executing ...

Braiding With Majorana Fermions

This paper is an introduction to relationships between topology, quantum computing and the properties of fermions. In particular we study the remarkable unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana fermions.

Majorana 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 ...
