We solve analytically the problem of a finite length Kitaev chain coupled to a quantum dot (QD), which extends the standard Kitaev chain problem making it more closely related to the quantum dot-semiconductor-superconductor (QD-SM-SC) nanowire heterostructure that is currently under intense investigation for possible occurrence of Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Our analytical solution reveals the emergence of a robust Andreev bound state (ABSs) localized in the quantum dot region as the generic lowest energy solution in the topologically trivial phase. By contrast, in the bare Kitaev chain problem such a solution does not exist. The robustness of the ABS in the topologically trivial phase is due to a partial decoupling of the component Majorana bound states (MBSs) over the length of the dot potential. As a result, the signatures of the ABS in measurements that couple locally to the quantum dot, e.g., tunneling measurements, are identical to the signatures of topologically-protected MZMs, which arise only in the topological superconducting (TS) phase of the Kitaev chain.
We introduce a model of quantum teleportation on a channel built on a quantum dot chain. Quantum dots are coupled through hopping and each dot can accept zero, one or two electrons. Vacuum and double occupation states have the same potential energy,
Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in qubit systems are known to produce singularities in the entanglement, which could in turn be used to probe the QPT. Current proposals to measure the entanglement are challenging however, because of their nonlocal n
We consider an array of N quantum dot pairs interacting via Coulomb interaction between adjacent dots and hopping inside each pair. We show that at the first order in the ratio of hopping and interaction amplitudes, the array maps in an effective two
Semiconductor quantum-dot spin qubits are a promising platform for quantum computation, because they are scalable and possess long coherence times. In order to realize this full potential, however, high-fidelity information transfer mechanisms are re
Heisenberg exchange coupling between neighboring electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots provides a powerful tool for quantum information processing and simulation. Although so far unrealized, extended Heisenberg spin chains can enable long-dist
