The Simulation of Non-Abelian Statistics of Majorana Fermions in Ising Chain with Z2 Symmetry

In this paper, we numerically study the non-Abelian statistics of the zero-energy Majorana fermions on the end of Majorana chain and show its application to quantum computing by mapping it to a spin model with special symmetry. In particular, by using transverse-field Ising model with Z2 symmetry, we verify the nontrivial non-Abelian statistics of Majorana fermions. Numerical evidence and comparison in both Majorana-representation and spin-representation are presented. The degenerate ground states of a symmetry protected spin chain therefore previde a promising platform for topological quantum computation.

Verifying Non-Abelian Statistics by Numerical Braiding Majorana Fermions

Recently, Majorana fermions (MFs) have attracted intensive attention because of their possible non-Abelian statistics. This paper points out an approach to verify the non-Abelian statistics of MFs in topological superconductors. We introduce a single particle representation of braiding operators that obey anti-commutating relation of Bogolubov-de Gennes (BdG) states. From the relationship between the braiding operator of MFs and that of BdG states, we verify non-Abelian statistics of MFs in 1D and 2D topological SCs.

Classification of Majorana Fermions in Two-Dimensional Topological Superconductors

Recently, Majorana Fermions (MFs) have attracted intensive attention due to their exotic statistics and possible applications in topological quantum computation (TQC). They are proposed to exist in various two-dimensional (2D) topological systems, such as px+ipy topological superconductor and nanowire-superconducting hybridization system. In this paper, two types of Majorana Fermions with different polygon sign rules are pointed out. A "smoking gun" numerical evidence to identify MF's classification is presented through looking for the signature of a first order topological quantum phase transition. By using it, several 2D topological superconductors are studied.
