如何在量子点-超导体线性阵列中实现稳健的实用Majorana链

How to realize a robust practical Majorana chain in a quantum dot-superconductor linear array

Jay D. Sau, S. Das Sarma

摘要:

接近超导体的半导体纳米线是马约拉纳费米子的有前途的实验系统,它最终可能被用作拓扑量子计算机的构建模块。在实验上实现马约拉纳费米子的一个严重挑战是无序对拓扑超导性的抑制。我们表明,马约拉纳费米子保护一个强大的拓扑间隙可以发生在一个链的量子点连接的s波超导体的末端。在适当的参数范围内,我们建立了量子点/超导体系统等价于一维Kitaev链,即使在量子点和超导体都是强无序的情况下,Kitaev链也可以被调谐到具有Majorana端模的鲁棒拓扑相.这种自旋轨道耦合的量子点-s波超导体阵列为观测非阿贝尔Majorana模提供了一个理想的实验平台。

英文摘要:

Semiconducting nanowires in proximity to superconductors are promising experimental systems for Majorana fermions, which may ultimately be used as building blocks for topological quantum computers. A serious challenge in the experimental realization of the Majorana fermions is the supression of topological superconductivity by disorder. We show that Majorana fermions protected by a robust topological gap can occur at the ends of a chain of quantum dots connected by s-wave superconductors. In the appropriate parameter regime, we establish that the quantum dot/superconductor system is equivalent to a 1D Kitaev chain, which can be tuned to be in a robust topological phase with Majorana end modes even in the case where the quantum dots and superconductors are both strongly disordered. Such a spin-orbit coupled quantum dot - s-wave superconductor array provides an ideal experimental platform for the observation of non-Abelian Majorana modes.
