Half-quantum vortices in spin-triplet superconductors are predicted to harbor Majorana zero modes and may provide a viable avenue to topological quantum computation. Here, we introduce a novel approach for directly measuring the…
The quantum-kinetic energy of a finite number of trapped fermionic atoms provides a restoring force for shear motion due to a distortion of the momentum distribution. In analogy to the twist mode of nuclear physics it is proposed that…
A topological phase can be engineered in quantum physics from the Bloch sphere of a spin-1/2 showing an hedgehog structure as a result of a radial magnetic field. We elaborate on a relation between the formation of an entangled wavefunction…
The sequence of prominent fractional quantum Hall states up to $\nu$=5/11 around $\nu$=1/2 in a high mobility two-dimensional electron system confined at oxide heterointerface (ZnO) is analyzed in terms of the composite fermion model. The…
We describe the influence of the gapless, nodal, fermionic quasiparticles of a two-dimensional d-wave superconductor on the motion of vortices. A continuum, functional formalism is used to obtain the effective vortex action, after the…
Excitation modes in the range $2/5 \geq \nu \geq 1/3$ of the fractional quantum Hall regime are observed by resonant inelastic light scattering. Spectra of spin reversed excitations suggest a structure of lowest spin-split Landau levels of…
An effective interaction between fermions in a Bose-Fermi mixture is derived. It is induced by density fluctuations of the bosonic background. The contributions from states containing both one and two virtual phonons are taken into account…
Vortons are extended superconducting rings, which hypothetically may play a role in cosmology and even may have significance in connection with cosmic rays of high energy. Some of these objects are able to confine fermions which…
We introduce a microscopic model aimed at describing the behavior of fermionic excitations in the background of a magnetic texture called "spin-vortex checkerboard". This texture was proposed previously as a possible alternative to stripes…
The phenomenology and theory of spin gap effects in high temperature superconductors is summarized. It is argued that the spin gap behavior can only be explained by a model of charge 0 spin 1/2 fermions which become paired into singlets and…
The equation of state for a superconducting cosmic string whose current is due to fermionic zero modes is derived analytically in the case where the back-reaction of the fermions to the background is neglected. It is first shown that the…
Skyrmions in the FQHE at filling fractions above \nu=1/3 are studied within the anyon model and by exact diagonalization. Relations to the composite fermion theory are pointed out. We find that unpolarized quasiparticles above \nu=1/3 are…
We study the fermionic zero modes of BPS semilocal magnetic vortices in N=2 supersymmetric QED with a Fayet-Iliopoulos term and two matter hypermultiplets of opposite charge. There is a one-parameter family of vortices with arbitrarily wide…
We study the mechanism of decay of a topological (winding-number) excitation due to finite-size effects in a two-dimensional valence-bond solid state, realized in an $S=1/2$ spin model ($J$-$Q$ model) and studied using projector Monte Carlo…
Spatial profile of the Majorana fermion wave function in a one-dimensional $p$-wave superconductors ($\cal{PWS}$) with quasi periodic disorder is shown to exhibit spatial oscillations. These oscillations damp out in the interior of the…
Multi-phase physics is a new physics of multi-gap superconductors. Multi-band superconductors exhibit many interesting and novel properties. We investigate the dynamics of the phase-difference mode and show that this mode yields a new…
The helical electron states on the surface of topological insulators or elemental Bismuth become unstable toward superconducting pairing formation when coupled to the charge or magnetic fluctuations. The latter gives rise to pairing…
When the impurity mean free path is short, only spin-polarized Cooper pairs which are non-locally and antisymmetrically correlated in time may exist in a half-metallic ferromagnet. As a consequence, the half-metal acts as an odd-frequency…
We propose several topological order parameters expressed in terms of Green's function at zero frequency for topological superconductors, which generalizes the previous work for interacting insulators. The coefficient in topological field…
A real-space formulation is given for the recently discussed exciton condensate in a symmetrically biased graphene bilayer. We show that in the continuum limit an oddly-quantized vortex in this condensate binds exactly one zero mode per…
