Majorana modes in a triple-terminal Josephson junction with embedded parallel-coupled double quantum dots

We investigate the Josephson effect in one triple-terminal junction with embedded parallel-coupled double quantum dots. It is found that the inter-superconductor supercurrent has opportunities to oscillate in $4π$ period, with the adjustment of the phase differences among the superconductors. What is notable is that such a result is robust and independent of fermion parities, intradot Coulomb strength, and the dot-superconductor coupling manner. By introducing the concept of spinful many-particle Majorana modes, we present the analytical definition of the Majorana operator via superposing electron and hole operators. It can be believed that this work provide a simple but feasible proposal for the realization of Majorana modes in a nonmagnetic system.

Exact solutions of a class of S=1 quantum Ising spin models

We propose a hole decomposition scheme to exactly solve a class of spin-1 quantum Ising models with transverse or longitudinal single-ion anisotropy. In this scheme, the spin-1 model is mapped onto a family of the $S=1/2$ transverse Ising models, characterized by the total number of holes. A recursion formula is derived for the partition function based on the reduced $S=1/2$ Ising model. This simplifies greatly the summation over all the hole configurations. It allows the thermodynamic quantities to be rigorously determined in the thermodynamic limit. The ground state phase diagram is determined for both the uniform and dimerized spin chains. The corresponding thermodynamic properties are calculated and discussed.
