Research areas:
There are a class of novel quasi-particle Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in topological superconductors, which are different from general fermions and bosons, and satisfy non-Abelian exchange statistics. This peculiar nature makes it topologically protected and thus less susceptible to decoherence. It can be used to store and manipulate quantum information for fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. These potential application prospects make the topological superconducting system and MZMs become the research hotspots of condensed matter physics. I am currently engaged in the numerical calculation of topological superconducting states in two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems. The main research objects are composite topological superconducting systems and MZMs among them. The first-principles calculations combined with the tight-binding model are used to find possible topological superconductors in two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems. The average field or random phase approximation method is used to study the stability of the topological superconducting phase, in order to find the experimentally prepared topological superconducting system.
