Parafermions are anyons with the potential for realizing non-local qubits that are resilient to local perturbations. Compared to Majorana zero modes, braiding of parafermions implements an extended set of topologically protected quantum…
Search for parafermions and Fibonacci anyons, which are excitations obeying non-Abelian statistics, is driven both by the quest for deeper understanding of nature and prospects for universal topological quantum computation. However,…
I discuss a one-dimensional model of interacting fermions which collective excitations are Z$_N$-parafermions. The phase diagram of this model contains ground states with Charge Density Wave and superconducting quasi long range order.…
$\mathbb{Z}_4$ parafermions can be realized in a strongly interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction or in a spin Hall Josephson junction strongly coupled to an impurity spin. In this paper we study a system that has both features,…
We theoretically report the emergence of $Z_4$ parafermion edge modes in a periodically driven spinful superconducting chain with modest fermionic Hubbard interaction. These parafermion edge modes represent $\pm \pi/(2T)$ quasienergy…
Parafermionic zero modes are non-Abelian excitations which have been predicted to emerge at the boundary of topological phases of matter. Contrary to earlier proposals, here we show that such zero modes may also exist in multilegged star…
We suggest a construction of a large class of topological states using an array of quantum wires. First, we show how to construct a Chern insulator using an array of alternating wires that contain electrons and holes, correlated with an…
Parafermions are generalizations of Majorana fermions that may appear in interacting topological systems. They are known to be powerful building blocks of topological quantum computers. Existing proposals for realizations of parafermions…
Recent experiments have demonstrated the possibility of inducing superconducting pairing into counterpropagating fractional quantum Hall edge modes. This paves the way for the realization of localized parafermionic modes, non-Abelian anyons…
Parafermion zero energy modes are a vital element of fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Although it is believed that such modes form on the border between topological and normal phases, this has been demonstrated only for Z$_2$…
Parafermionic zero modes are a novel set of excitations displaying non-Abelian statistics somewhat richer than that of Majorana modes. These modes are predicted to occur when nearby fractional quantum Hall edge states are gapped by an…
We consider a setup consisting of two coupled sheets of bilayer graphene in the regime of strong spin-orbit interaction, where electrostatic confinement is used to create an array of effective quantum wires. We show that for suitable…
Parafermions are exotic quasiparticles with non-Abelian fractional statistics that can be realized and stabilized in 1-dimensional models that are generalizations of the Kitaev p-wave wire. We study the simplest generalization, i.e. the…
Parafermion zero modes are generalizations of Majorana modes that underlie comparatively rich non-Abelian-anyon properties. We introduce exact mappings that connect parafermion chains, which can emerge in two-dimensional fractionalized…
Non-Abelian anyons--particles whose exchange noncommutatively transforms a system's quantum state--are widely sought for the exotic fundamental physics they harbor as well as for quantum computing applications. There now exist numerous…
Topological quantum computation relies on a protected degenerate subspace enabling complicated operations in a noise-resilient way. To this end, hybrid platforms based on non-Abelian quasiparticles such as parafermions hold great promise.…
We demonstrate the appearance of zero-energy bound states satisfying the $\mathbb{Z}_4$ parafermionic algebra in interacting quantum wires with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and proximity-induced superconductivity. The fourfold degeneracy of…
We propose a scheme to generate pairs of time-reversal invariant parafermions. Our setup consists of two quantum wires with opposite Rashba spin orbit interactions coupled to an $s$-wave superconductor, in the presence of electron-electron…
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 phenomena. First we illustrate the intimate connection between…
Parafermions modes are non-Abelian anyons which were introduced as $\mathbb{Z}_N$ generalizations of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Majorana states. In particular, $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermions can be used to produce Fibonacci anyons, laying a path towards…
