Majorana Modes in Driven-Dissipative Atomic Superfluids with a Zero Chern Number
Majorana Modes in Driven-Dissipative Atomic Superfluids with a Zero Chern Number
We investigate dissipation-induced p-wave paired states of fermions in two dimensions and show the existence of spatially separated Majorana zero modes in a phase with vanishing Chern number. We construct an explicit and natural model of a dissipative vortex that traps a single of these modes, and establish its topological …
