We consider a network topology design problem in which an initial undirected graph underlying the network is given and the objective is to select a set of edges to add to the graph to optimize the coherence of the resulting network. We show…
Topological superconductors can support localized Majorana states at their boundaries. These quasi-particle excitations have non-Abelian statistics that can be used to encode and manipulate quantum information in a topologically protected…
We propose a novel optimization algorithm for continuous functions using geodesics and contours under conformal mapping.The algorithm can find multiple optima by first following a geodesic curve to a local optimum then traveling to the next…
We investigate the performance of a deterministic GREEDY algorithm for the problem of maximizing functions under a partition matroid constraint. We consider non-monotone submodular functions and monotone subadditive functions. Even though…
The non-Abelian statistics of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are central to fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. Planar Josephson junctions provide a particularly versatile platform for realizing robust topological superconductivity…
Experiments on planar Josephson junction architectures have recently been shown to provide an alternative way of creating topological superconductors hosting accessible Majorana modes. These zero-energy modes can be found at the ends of a…
High density superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor junctions have a small induced superconducting gap due to the quasiparticle trajectories with a large momentum parallel to the junction having a very long flight time. Because a large…
We propose a semiconductor-superconductor hybrid device for realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes consisting of a planar Josephson junction structure with periodically modulated junction width. By performing a…
We study the low-energy physics of planar Josephson junction structures realized in a quasi-two dimensional semiconductor system proximity-coupled to narrow superconducting films. Using both a recursive Green's function approach and an…
As part of the intense effort towards identifying platforms in which Majorana bound states can be realized and manipulated to perform qubit operations, we propose a topological Josephson junction architecture that achieves these…
This work applies Bayesian experimental design to selecting optimal projection geometries in (discretized) parallel beam X-ray tomography assuming the prior and the additive noise are Gaussian. The introduced greedy exhaustive optimization…
Topological quantum computation using non-Abelian Majorana zero modes localized in proximitized semiconductor nanowires requires careful electrostatic control of wire-junctions so as to manipulate and braid the zero modes enabling anyonic…
In this paper, we present our heuristic solutions to the problems of finding the maximum and minimum area polygons with a given set of vertices. Our solutions are based mostly on two simple algorithmic paradigms: greedy method and local…
Majorana zero modes in superconductor-nanowire hybrid structures are a promising candidate for topologically protected qubits with the potential to be used in scalable structures. Currently, disorder in such Majorana wires is a major…
In this paper, we propose the greedy and random Broyden's method for solving nonlinear equations. Specifically, the greedy method greedily selects the direction to maximize a certain measure of progress for approximating the current…
An important problem in computational topology is to calculate the homology of a space from samples. In this work, we develop a statistical approach to this problem by calculating the expected rank of an induced map on homology from a…
The transient response of power grids to external disturbances influences their stable operation. This paper studies the effect of topology in linear time-invariant dynamics of different power grids. For a variety of objective functions, a…
Establishment of phase-coherence and a non-dissipative (super)current between two weakly coupled superconductors, known as the Josephson effect, plays a foundational role in basic physics and applications to metrology, precision sensing,…
Designs generated by density-based topology optimization (TO) exhibit jagged and/or smeared boundaries, which forms an obstacle to their integration with existing CAD tools. Addressing this problem by smoothing or manual design adjustments…
This paper considers the design of structures made of engineered materials, accounting for uncertainty in material properties. We present a topology optimization approach that optimizes the structural shape and topology at the macroscale…
