One-Dimensional Topological States of Synthetic Quantum Matter

600 Seiten, Dissertation Universität Stuttgart (2019), Softcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

Topological states of matter are an influential concept of modern condensed matter physics with profound impact on our understanding of quantum phases.

This dissertation is based on a collection of papers and addresses several questions on properties and applications of topological states in one-dimensional synthetic quantum systems. For example:

- What is the fate of Majorana modes in systems with particle number conservation?

- Can topologically protected edge modes be utilized for reliable transfer of quantum information?

- How can one-dimensional topological quantum memories be implemented and corrected efficiently?
