摘要:

马约拉纳费米子被预测出现在纳米线器件的末端,纳米线器件结合了超导性、强自旋轨道耦合和外部磁场。通过用合适的门控操纵这些设备的网络,已经提出可以执行编织操作,其充当适合于量子计算的逻辑操作。然而,在任何实际的装置几何形状中磁场的不可避免的未对准已经提出了关于这种编织的可行性的问题。在本文中,我们数值模拟编织操作的Y-结和音叉几何形状的设备使用实验动机的纳米线模型。我们研究了静态和动态特征如何随几何参数而变化,并确定了优化成功编织概率的参数选择。值得注意的是,我们发现,有一个最佳的Y结的半角(约20度,我们的参数值),这平衡了两个竞争机制,减少能隙的激发。此外,我们发现,音叉几何形状具有显着的优势,一个Y-结几何形状,因为它大大减少了动态相位振荡的影响,复杂的编织过程。我们的研究结果表明,执行一个成功的编织原则上是可能的,与这样的设备,并在实验范围内。

英文摘要:

Majorana fermions are predicted to arise at the ends of nanowire devices which combine superconductivity, strong spin-orbit coupling and an external magnetic field. By manipulating networks of these devices with suitable gating, it has been suggested that braiding operations may be performed which act as logic operations, suitable for quantum computation. However, the unavoidable misalignment of the magnetic field in any realistic device geometry has raised questions about the feasibility of such braiding. In this paper, we numerically simulate braiding operations in devices with Y-junction and tuning fork geometries using an experimentally motivated nanowire model. We study how the static and dynamical features vary with geometric parameters and identify parameter choices that optimise the probability of a successful braid. Notably, we find that there is an optimal Y-junction half-angle (about 20 degrees for our parameter values), which balances two competing mechanisms that reduce the energy gap to excitations. In addition, we find that a tuning fork geometry has significant advantages over a Y-junction geometry, as it substantially reduces the effect of dynamical phase oscillations that complicate the braiding process. Our results suggest that performing a successful braid is in principle possible with such devices, and lies within experimental reach.
