Topological phases with parafermions: theory and blueprints

J Alicea, P Fendley - Annual Review of Condensed Matter …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
We concisely review the recent evolution in the study of parafermions—exotic emergent
excitations that generalize Majorana fermions and similarly underpin a host of novel …

Operator delocalization in quantum networks

J Kim, J Murugan, J Olle, D Rosa - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We investigate the delocalization of operators in nonchaotic quantum systems whose
interactions are encoded in an underlying graph or network. In particular, we study how fast …

Superconducting analogue of the parafermion fractional quantum Hall states

A Vaezi - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
Read-Rezayi Z k parafermion wave functions describe ν= 2+(k/k M+ 2) fractional quantum
Hall (FQH) states. These states support non-Abelian excitations from which protected …

Quantum computing with parafermions

A Hutter, D Loss - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Z d parafermions are exotic non-Abelian quasiparticles generalizing Majorana fermions,
which correspond to the case d= 2. In contrast to Majorana fermions, braiding of …

Phase diagram of the parafermionic chain with chiral interactions

Y Zhuang, HJ Changlani, NM Tubman, TL Hughes - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Parafermions are exotic quasiparticles with non-Abelian fractional statistics that can be
realized and stabilized in one-dimensional models that are generalizations of the Kitaev p …

Generalization of Bloch's theorem for arbitrary boundary conditions: Theory

A Alase, E Cobanera, G Ortiz, L Viola - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We present a generalization of Bloch's theorem to finite-range lattice systems of
independent fermions, in which translation symmetry is broken solely due to arbitrary …

parafermions in one-dimensional fermionic lattices

A Calzona, T Meng, M Sassetti, TL Schmidt - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Parafermions are emergent excitations which generalize Majorana fermions and are
potentially relevant to topological quantum computation. Using the concept of Fock …

Interrelations among frustration-free models via Witten's conjugation

J Wouters, H Katsura, D Schuricht - SciPost Physics Core, 2021 - scipost.org
We apply Witten's conjugation argument [Nucl. Phys. B 202, 253 (1982)] to spin chains,
where it allows us to derive frustration-free systems and their exact ground states from …

Anyonic tight-binding models of parafermions and of fractionalized fermions

D Rossini, M Carrega, M Calvanese Strinati, L Mazza - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Parafermions are emergent quasiparticles which generalize Majorana fermions and
possess intriguing anyonic properties. The theoretical investigation of effective models …

Parafermion chain with Floquet edge modes

GJ Sreejith, A Lazarides, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study parafermion chains with Z k symmetry subject to a periodic binary drive, focusing
on the case k= 3. We find that the chains support different Floquet edge modes at nontrivial …
