1. 1. Majorana bound states in chains of interacting quantum dots

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience

   Author : William Samuelson; [2023]
   Keywords : quantum dots; superconducting proximity effect; Majorana bound states; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the creation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) -- a type of condensed matter excitations theorized to have exotic and technologically valuable properties. In particular, they could be used to store and manipulate quantum information in a protected way, forming the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. READ MORE

3. 2. Dynamics at an exceptional point in an interacting quantum dot system

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : William Samuelson; [2022]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics is that the Hamiltonian of a closed system is Hermitian, guaranteeing real-valued energies and conserved probabilities throughout the evolution of the system. However, for quantum systems where there is dissipation and crosstalk with the environment, such as a system of quantum dots connected to an environment of metallic leads, the dynamics of the system is instead generated by a non-Hermitian Liouvillian superoperator.
