Engineering Topological Phases and Excitations in Nanostructures with Interactions
The main goal of this theory project is to propose engineered topological phases emerging only in strongly interacting systems and to identify the most feasible systems for experimental implementation. First, we will focus on setups hosting topological states localized at domain walls in one-dimensional channels such as parafermions, which are a new class of non-Abelian anyons and most promising candidates for topological quantum computing schemes. Second, in the framework of weakly coupled wires and planes, we will develop schemes for novel fractional topological phases in two- and three-dimensional interacting systems. To achieve these two goals, my team will identify necessary…
