We propose a two-path vortex interferometry experiment based on the Aharonov-Casher effect for detecting the non-Abelian nature of vortices in a chiral p-wave superconductor. The effect is based on observing vortex interference patterns upon enclosing a finite charge of externally controllable magnitude within the interference path. We predict that when the interfering vortices enclose an odd number of identical vortices in their path, the interference pattern disappears only for non-Abelian vortices. When pairing involves two distinct spin species, we derive the mutual statistics between half quantum and full quantum vortices and show that, remarkably, our predictions still hold for the situation of a full quantum vortex enclosing a half quantum vortex in its path. We discuss the experimentally relevant conditions under which these effects can be observed.

Weak topological insulating phases of hard-core bosons on the honeycomb lattice

Amrita Ghosh, Eytan Grosfeld

Summary: This study investigates the phases of hard-core bosons with weak topological insulator characteristics, highlighting their behavior at different densities. Results show the potential for experimental realization of both weak topological insulators at 1/4 and 3/4 densities, as well as charge-density-wave insulators at 1/2 filling, providing new directions for optical lattice experiments.

Floquet Gauge Pumps as Sensors for Spectral Degeneracies Protected by Symmetry or Topology

Abhishek Kumar, Gerardo Ortiz, Philip Richerme, Babak Seradjeh

Summary: This paper introduces the concept of a Floquet gauge pump, which utilizes a dynamically engineered Floquet Hamiltonian to uncover the inherent degeneracy of the ground state in interacting systems. Demonstrated in a one-dimensional XY model, the Floquet Hamiltonian in the high-frequency limit consists of static XY and dynamically generated DMI terms. The dynamically generated magnetization current depends on the phases of complex coupling terms, distinguishing between ordered and disordered phases.

Dirac Magic and Lifshitz Transitions in AA-Stacked Twisted Multilayer Graphene

Yantao Li, Adam Eaton, H. A. Fertig, Babak Seradjeh

Summary: We have discovered a new type of magic-angle phenomena when an AA-stacked graphene bilayer is twisted relative to another graphene system with band touching. At certain angles, multiple anisotropic Dirac cones coexist in the twisted multilayer structures, which we refer to as Dirac magic. The twist angle and perpendicular electric field can be used to tune the topological Lifshitz transitions induced by the anisotropy of the Dirac cones.

Classical and quantum chaos in chirally-driven, dissipative Bose-Hubbard systems

Daniel Dahan, Geva Arwas, Eytan Grosfeld

Summary: This study investigates the dissipative Bose-Hubbard model with chiral drive on a small ring of sites, exploring its long-time dynamical structure using mean-field equations and simulating the quantum master equation. The findings reveal that for sufficiently large drivings, the system exhibits a chaotic attractor at the mean-field level, presenting as a complex Wigner function at the quantum level. This behavior can be observed through the measurement of various bosonic correlation functions.

Electromagnetic response of the surface states of a topological insulator nanowire embedded within a resonator

Shimon Arie Haver, Eran Ginossar, Sebastian E. de Graaf, Eytan Grosfeld

Summary: This study explores the potential of superconducting resonators as detectors for topological insulator nanowires by generating orbital resonances through the introduction of static and oscillating electromagnetic fields. The changes in the resonator's Q-factor as a function of the flux reveal the density of states, transition rules, and dependence on the applied flux of the surface 2D Dirac orbitals in the topological insulator nanowire.

Interaction-driven phase transition in one dimensional mirror-symmetry protected topological insulator

Devendra Singh Bhakuni, Amrita Ghosh, Eytan Grosfeld

Summary: This study explores the effect of many-body interactions in mirror-symmetry protected topological crystalline insulators. It demonstrates the stability of the mirror-symmetry protected topological phase under short-range interactions and the interaction-induced topological phase transition when longer-range interactions are introduced.

Renormalized magic angles in asymmetric twisted graphene multilayers

Adam Eaton, Yantao Li, H. A. Fertig, Babak Seradjeh

Summary: This study investigates the presence of flat bands in stacked graphene multilayers with small relative twist angles. The effect of Dirac point asymmetry and Fermi velocity differences between layers is considered. The results show that despite this asymmetry, the flat band phenomenon persists. The magic angles can be tuned by controlling the screening in the bilayer system or the twist angles of the outer layers in the tetralayer system. Notably, the quantitative values of the magic angles are increased in the models.

Electronic confinement of surface states in a topological insulator nanowire

Ruchi Saxena, Eytan Grosfeld, Sebastian E. de Graaf, Tobias Lindstrom, Floriana Lombardi, Oindrila Deb, Eran Ginossar

Summary: We analyze the confinement of electronic surface states in a model of a topological insulator nanowire. We show that intentional backscattering can be induced in the presence of a nanowire constriction and propose a geometry involving two constrictions that form effective barriers for the formation of a quantum dot. By analyzing the noninteracting electronic transport through the device, we demonstrate how externally applied magnetic flux and electrostatic gates can control the spectrum of the quantum dot and the electronic transport through the surface states of the model device.

Implementation of Single-Qubit Gates via Parametric Modulation in the Majorana Transmon

E. Lupo, E. Grosfeld, E. Ginossar

Summary: We propose a voltage gate-based method for controlling the Majorana transmon and analyze its performance in terms of qubit control errors and charge noise effects. The results show that the method achieves high-fidelity single-qubit rotation gates in both the laboratory frame and the qubit rotating frame. Furthermore, the system exhibits long dephasing times at the sweet spots and remarkable resilience to charge noise in the driven case.

Lorentz violation in Dirac and Weyl semimetals

V. Alan Kostelecky, Ralf Lehnert, Navin McGinnis, Marco Schreck, Babak Seradjeh

Summary: This paper proposes a correspondence between emergent Lorentz symmetry in condensed-matter systems and the effective field theory for Lorentz violation in fundamental theories of spacetime and matter. The consequences of this correspondence on the spectral and transport properties of Dirac and Weyl semimetals are investigated, and the bulk-boundary correspondence between bulk topological invariants and drumhead surface states of these semimetals is demonstrated.

Chiral bosonic topological insulator on the honeycomb lattice with anisotropic interactions

Amrita Ghosh, Eytan Grosfeld

Summary: Through the use of QMC technique, it was discovered that hard-core bosons on the honeycomb lattice exhibit a dimer insulator phase near maximum anisotropy, characterized by a topological entanglement entropy ln(2)/2, indicative of a fractional quantum Hall state. The presence of edge states was identified, and a QMC-based method was derived to extract and verify their chirality, all without the need for magnetic flux or lattice frustration.
