Charge impurity effects in hybrid Majorana nanowires

no code implementations11 Mar 2021 Benjamin D. Woods, Sankar Das Sarma, Tudor D. Stanescu

We address an outstanding problem that represents a critical roadblock in the development of the Majorana-based topological qubit using semiconductor-superconductor hybrid structures: the quantitative characterization of disorder effects generated by the unintentional presence of charge impurities within the hybrid device.

Disorder-induced zero-bias peaks in Majorana nanowires

no code implementations9 Mar 2021 Sankar Das Sarma, Haining Pan

Focusing specifically on the recently retracted Nature 2018 Zhang et al. work [Zhang et al., Nature (2021)] and the related recently available correctly analyzed data from this Delft experiment [Zhang et al., arXiv:2101. 11456 (2021)], we discuss the general problem of confirmation bias in experiments verifying various theoretical topological quantization predictions.

Interaction-Driven Filling-Induced Metal-Insulator Transitions in 2D Moiré Lattices

no code implementations8 Dec 2020 Haining Pan, Sankar Das Sarma

Using a realistic band structure for twisted WSe$_2 $ materials, we develop a theory for the interaction-driven correlated insulators to conducting metals transitions through the tuning of the filling factor around commensurate fractional fillings of the moir\'e unit cell in the 2D honeycomb lattice, focusing on the dominant half-filled Mott insulating state, which exists for both long- and short-range interactions.

Electronic structure of full-shell InAs/Al hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowires: Spin-orbit coupling and topological phase space

no code implementations30 Jan 2019 Benjamin D. Woods, Sankar Das Sarma, Tudor D. Stanescu

We study the electronic structure of full-shell superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, which have recently been proposed for creating Majorana zero modes, using an eight-band $\vec{k} \cdot \vec{p}$ model within a fully self-consistent Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson scheme.

Non-Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation

no code implementations12 Jul 2007 Chetan Nayak, Steven H. Simon, Ady Stern, Michael Freedman, Sankar Das Sarma

To date, the only such topological states thought to have been found in nature are fractional quantum Hall states, most prominently the \nu=5/2 state, although several other prospective candidates have been proposed in systems as disparate as ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices and thin film superconductors.
