1. Majorana bound states in chains of interacting quantum dots
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for NanoscienceSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Towards a Cooper pair splitter in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defined quantum dots
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska HögskolaSammanfattning : Cooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. LÄS MER
3. Quasicrystal nanowires in SNS-junctions
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/MaterialteoriSammanfattning : Quasicrystals are systems that are ordered but not periodic. They do however still have long-range order and well-defined diffraction peaks. This leads to interesting properties, like critical states which are neither extended nor localized, and to topological invariants and edge states. LÄS MER
4. Characterization of InAs-Al semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : In this thesis we study charge and spin transport through InAs-Al nanowire superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices. We focus on assessing the quality of the InAs-Al contact interface when using a weak HCl acid to wet-etch the nanowire surface prior to metal evaporation. LÄS MER
5. Majorana bound states in inhomogeneous nanowires
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : Majorana bound states are in condensed matter physics quasiparticle excitations which can be found in so-called topological superconductors. They have lately received much attention since they have been predicted to be partly immune to decoherence and therefore suitable for quantum computation. LÄS MER
