In this paper we study the zero energy solutions of the Dirac equation in the background of a $Z_2$ vortex of a non-Abelian gauge model with three charged scalar fields. We determine the number of the fermionic zero modes giving their explicit form for two specific Ansatze.

In this paper we study a $2+1$ dimensional system in which fermions are coupled to the self-dual topological vortex in $U(1) times U(1)$ Chern-Simons theory, where both $U(1)$ gauge symmetries are spontaneously broken. We consider two Abelian Higgs s
calars with visible and hidden sectors coupled to a fermionic field through three interaction Lagrangians, where one of them violates the fermion number. Using a fine tuning procedure, we could obtain the number of the fermionic zero modes which is equal to the absolute value of the sum of the vortex numbers in the visible and hidden sectors.
I study the midgap spectrum of the fermion-vortex system in two spatial dimensions. The existence of bound states, in addition to the zero modes found by Jackiw and Rossi, is established. For a singly quantized vortex, I present complete analytical s
olutions in terms of generalized Laguerre polynomials in the opposite limits of vanishing and large vortex core size. There is an infinite number of such bound states, with a spectrum that is, when squared, given by, respectively, the Coulomb potential and the isotropic harmonic oscillator. Possible experimental signatures of this spectrum in condensed-matter realizations of the system are pointed out.
A real-space formulation is given for the recently discussed exciton condensate in a symmetrically biased graphene bilayer. We show that in the continuum limit an oddly-quantized vortex in this condensate binds exactly one zero mode per valley index
of the bilayer. In the full lattice model the zero modes are split slightly due to intervalley mixing. We support these results by an exact numerical diagonalization of the lattice Hamiltonian. We also discuss the effect of the zero modes on the charge content of these vortices and deduce some of their interesting properties.
We study the effects of disorder on a Kitaev chain with longer-range hopping and pairing terms which is capable of forming local zero energy excitations and, hence, serves as a minimal model for localization-protected edge qubits. The clean phase dia
gram hosts regions with 0, 1, and 2 Majorana zero-modes (MZMs) per edge. Using a semi-analytic approach corroborated by numerical calculations of the entanglement degeneracy, we show how phase boundaries evolve under the influence of disorder. While in general the 2 MZM region is stable with respect to moderate disorder, stronger values drive transition towards the topologically trivial phase. We uncover regions where the addition of disorder induces local zero-modes absent for the corresponding clean system. Interestingly, we discover that disorder destroys any direct transition between phases with zero and two MZMs by creating a tricritical point at the 2-0 MZM boundary of the clean system. Finally, motivated by recent experiments, we calculate the characteristic signatures of the disorder phase diagram as measured in dynamical local and non-local qubit correlation functions. Our work provides a minimal starting point to investigate the coherence properties of local qubits in the presence of disorder.
We propose an alternative route to engineer Majorana zero modes (MZMs), which relies on inducing shift or spin vortex defects in magnetic textures which microscopically coexist or are in proximity to a superconductor. The present idea applies to a va
riety of superconducting materials and hybrid structures, irrespectively of their spin-singlet, -triplet, or mixed type of pairing, as long as their bulk energy spectrum contains robust point nodes. Our mechanism provides a new framework to understand the recent observations of pairs of MZMs in superconductor - magnetic adatom systems. Moreover, it can inspire the experimental development of new platforms, consisting of nanowires in proximity to conventional superconductors with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
