The researchers propose a digital-analog quantum computing approach using superconducting circuits to efficiently simulate the Hubbard-Holstein model of fermion-boson interactions with high fidelity, outperforming purely digital methods and offering applications in materials science, chemistry, and high-energy physics.
Researchers theoretically demonstrate that Floquet Majorana fermions in periodically driven topological superconductors create 4π-periodic Josephson currents with amplitudes that can be tuned by aligning chemical potentials with drive frequency harmonics, yielding a novel “Josephson Floquet sum rule.”
Rice University physicists have made a breakthrough in particle physics by mathematically demonstrating the possibility of paraparticles, challenging the long-held binary classification of particles as either fermions or bosons. The research, led by Associate Professor […]
A new way to combine two materials with special electrical properties — a monolayer superconductor and a topological insulator — provides the best platform to date to explore an unusual form of superconductivity called topological superconductivity. The combination could provide the basis for topological quantum computers that are more stable than their traditional counterparts.
