We study the stability of the fermionic quasiparticle in a fermion-boson model on a Bethe lattice, with fermions interacting with local bosons via a polaronic-type coupling. We solve the problem by mapping it onto a non-interacting chain…

We study an exactly solvable one-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ model which can support weak zero modes in its ground state manifold. The spin chain has staggered XXZ-type and ZZ-type spin interaction on neighboring bonds and is thus dubbed…

The problem of fermion dynamics is studied using the Q-function for fermions. This is a probabilistic phase-space representation, which we express using Majorana operators, so that the phase-space variable is a real antisymmetric matrix. We…
