Majorana zero modes in a cylindrical semiconductor quantum wire

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 ...

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 ...

Ubiquitous Nonlocal Entanglement with Majorana Zero Modes.

Entanglement in quantum mechanics contradicts local realism and is a manifestation of quantum nonlocality. Its presence can be detected through the violation of Bell, or Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequalities. Paradigmatic quantum systems provide examples of both, nonentangled and entangled states. Here, we consider a minimal complexity setup consisting of six Majorana zero modes. We fi...
