摘要:

局部马约拉纳模式的预测和操纵这些自由度的想法是马约拉纳量子计算物理平台提案的两个关键因素。一些建议设想了一个可扩展的网络,这种马约拉纳模式耦合双线性相互量子力学混合振幅。在这里,我们开发了一个理论框架,用于表征集体拓扑保护的零能量马约拉纳费米子激发的局域马约拉纳模式的网络。在我们的工作中的一个关键成分是一般图的Gallai-Edmonds分解,我们使用它来获得一个替代的“本地”证明的“全球”结果的Lov{á}sz和Anderson的拓扑保护的零空间的{ \em真正反对称}(或纯虚厄米特)邻接矩阵的一般图的维数。我们的方法Lov{á}sz和Anderson的结果构造了一个极大局部化的基础,所述零空间从Gallai-Edmonds分解的图。应用到图的问题中的马约拉纳网络,这给出了一种方法来表征这些集体拓扑保护马约拉纳费米子激发的基础独立的属性,并将这些属性与相应的网络图的最大匹配(最大填充二聚体覆盖)的合奏中的单体的关联函数。我们的方法也可以用来识别零能量激发的签名在系统建模的自由费米子哈密顿与这种类型的跳跃矩阵;一个有趣的例子是提供空位诱导居里尾的概括(非二分晶格)Kitaev的蜂窝模型。

英文摘要:

Predictions of localized Majorana modes, and ideas for manipulating these degrees of freedom, are the two key ingredients in proposals for physical platforms for Majorana quantum computation. Several proposals envisage a scalable network of such Majorana modes coupled bilinearly to each other by quantum-mechanical mixing amplitudes. Here, we develop a theoretical framework for characterizing collective topologically protected zero-energy Majorana fermion excitations of such networks of localized Majorana modes. A key ingredient in our work is the Gallai-Edmonds decomposition of a general graph, which we use to obtain an alternate ``local'' proof of a ``global'' result of Lov{á}sz and Anderson on the dimension of the topologically protected null space of {\em real skew-symmetric} (or pure-imaginary hermitean) adjacency matrices of general graphs. Our approach to Lov{á}sz and Anderson's result constructs a maximally-localized basis for the said null-space from the Gallai-Edmonds decomposition of the graph. Applied to the graph of the Majorana network in question, this gives a method for characterizing basis-independent properties of these collective topologically protected Majorana fermion excitations, and relating these properties to the correlation function of monomers in the ensemble of maximum matchings (maximally-packed dimer covers) of the corresponding network graph. Our approach can also be used to identify signatures of zero-energy excitations in systems modeled by a free-fermion Hamiltonian with a hopping matrix of this type; an interesting example is provided by vacancy-induced Curie tails in generalizations (on non-bipartite lattices) of Kitaev's honeycomb model.
