Topological phases with parafermions: theory and blueprints

J Alicea, P Fendley - Annual Review of Condensed Matter …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
We concisely review the recent evolution in the study of parafermions—exotic emergent
excitations that generalize Majorana fermions and similarly underpin a host of novel …

Hunting for majoranas

A Yazdani, F Von Oppen, BI Halperin, A Yacoby - Science, 2023 - science.org
Over the past decade, there have been considerable efforts to observe non-abelian
quasiparticles in novel quantum materials and devices. These efforts are motivated by the …

Fractional quantum anomalous Hall states in twisted bilayer and

AP Reddy, F Alsallom, Y Zhang, T Devakul, L Fu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We demonstrate via exact diagonalization that AA-stacked transition metal dichalcogenide
homobilayers host fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) states with fractionally …

Quantifying the promotion of Cu catalysts by ZnO for methanol synthesis

S Kuld, M Thorhauge, H Falsig, CF Elkjær, S Helveg… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Promoter elements enhance the activity and selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we
show how methanol synthesis from synthesis gas over copper (Cu) nanoparticles is boosted …

Majorana zero modes and topological quantum computation

SD Sarma, M Freedman, C Nayak - npj Quantum Information, 2015 - nature.com
We provide a current perspective on the rapidly developing field of Majorana zero modes
(MZMs) in solid-state systems. We emphasise the theoretical prediction, experimental …

A short introduction to topological quantum computation

V Lahtinen, J Pachos - SciPost Physics, 2017 - scipost.org
This review presents an entry-level introduction to topological quantum computation--
quantum computing with anyons. We introduce anyons at the system-independent level of …

Observation of phononic helical edge states in a mechanical topological insulator

R Süsstrunk, SD Huber - Science, 2015 - science.org
A topological insulator, as originally proposed for electrons governed by quantum
mechanics, is characterized by a dichotomy between the interior and the edge of a finite …

Topological defects on the lattice: dualities and degeneracies

D Aasen, P Fendley, RSK Mong - arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.08598, 2020 - arxiv.org
We construct topological defects in two-dimensional classical lattice models and quantum
chains. The defects satisfy local commutation relations guaranteeing that the partition …

Long range intrinsic ferromagnetism in two dimensional materials and dissipationless future technologies

B Shabbir, M Nadeem, Z Dai, MS Fuhrer… - Applied Physics …, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
The inherent susceptibility of low-dimensional materials to thermal fluctuations has long
been expected to pose a major challenge to achieve intrinsic long-range ferromagnetic …

Inducing superconducting correlation in quantum Hall edge states

GH Lee, KF Huang, DK Efetov, DS Wei, S Hart… - Nature Physics, 2017 - nature.com
The quantum Hall (QH) effect supports a set of chiral edge states at the boundary of a two-
dimensional system. A superconductor (SC) contacting these states can provide correlations …
