摘要:

拓扑超导体可以承载马约拉纳准粒子,它取代了费米子/玻色子二分法,并为容错量子计算提供了一条途径。在一维系统中,零能马约拉纳态被束缚在拓扑超导区的两端。马约拉纳束缚态的实验特征是在隧穿实验中在零源极-漏极电压偏置处的电导峰。在这里,我们确定了半导体纳米线耦合到一个传统的超导体的体拓扑相。通过零偏压峰对化学势和磁场的依赖关系,绘制了其相图。我们的研究结果是一致的计算有限长度的拓扑纳米线。相图的知识使得有可能可预测地调整纳米线段的拓扑相,从而控制多个马约拉纳束缚态的位置和耦合。这种能力是Majorana编织的先决条件,Majorana编织是一种实验,其中Majorana量子态被交换,以证明它们的非阿贝尔特性并实现拓扑量子比特。

英文摘要:

Topological superconductors can host Majorana quasiparticles which supersede the fermion/boson dichotomy and offer a pathway to fault tolerant quantum computation. In one-dimensional systems zero-energy Majorana states are bound to the ends of the topologically superconducting regions. An experimental signature of a Majorana bound state is a conductance peak at zero source-drain voltage bias in a tunneling experiment. Here, we identify the bulk topological phase in a semiconductor nanowire coupled to a conventional superconductor. We map out its phase diagram through the dependence of zero-bias peak on the chemical potential and magnetic field. Our findings are consistent with calculations for a finite-length topological nanowire. Knowledge of the phase diagram makes it possible to predictably tune nanowire segments in and out of the topological phase, thus controlling the positions and couplings of multiple Majorana bound states. This ability is a prerequisite for Majorana braiding, an experiment in which Majorana quantum states are exchanged in order to both demonstrate their non-abelian character and realize topological quantum bits.
