Crystalline-symmetry-protected Majorana modes in coupled quantum dots

B Pandey, G Alvarez, E Dagotto, RX Zhang - Physical Review Research, 2025 - APS
We propose a minimalist architecture for achieving various crystalline-symmetry-protected
Majorana modes in an array of coupled quantum dots. Our framework is motivated by the …

Interplay between Majorana and Shiba states in a minimal Kitaev chain coupled to a superconductor

M Alvarado, AL Yeyati, R Aguado, RS Souto - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Two semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) coupled through a superconductor constitute a
minimal realization of a Kitaev chain with Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Such MZMs can be …

Exchanging the positions of two non-Abelian anyons transforms between many-body
wavefunctions within a degenerate ground-state manifold. This behavior is fundamentally …
