Parafermions in an Interacting Nanowire Bundle
Parafermions in an Interacting Nanowire Bundle
We propose a scheme to induce ${\mathbb{Z}}_{3}$ parafermion modes, exotic zero-energy bound states that possess non-Abelian statistics. We consider a minimal setup consisting of a bundle of four tunnel coupled nanowires hosting spinless electrons that interact strongly with each other. The hallmark of our setup is that it relies only …
