We report measurements of Little-Parks oscillation on the hierarchical honeycomb-superconducting network for investigating possible effects of hierarchical structure in terms of spatial symmetry, parity and duality. We observed an asymmetric Little-Parks oscillation about $Phi/Phi_0 = 1/2$, although spatial symmetry was kept in the network. In comparison with a regular honeycomb network, the asymmetric oscillation is attributed to hierarchy which induces mixture of commensurate and incommensurate regions. The asymmetric oscillation is found to indicate breaking of the duality of vortex configuration.

We propose a hierarchical architecture for building logical Majorana zero modes using physical Majorana zero modes at the Y-junctions of a hexagonal network of semiconductor nanowires. Each Y-junction contains three physical Majoranas, which hybridiz
e when placed in close proximity, yielding a single effective Majorana mode near zero energy. The hybridization of effective Majorana modes on neighboring Y-junctions is controlled by applied gate voltages on the links of the honeycomb network. This gives rise to a tunable tight-binding model of effective Majorana modes. We show that selecting the gate voltages that generate a Kekule vortex pattern in the set of hybridization amplitudes yields an emergent logical Majorana zero mode bound to the vortex core. The position of a logical Majorana can be tuned adiabatically, textit{without} moving any of the physical Majoranas or closing any energy gaps, by programming the values of the gate voltages to change as functions of time. A nanowire network supporting multiple such logical Majorana zero modes provides a physical platform for performing adiabatic non-Abelian braiding operations in a fully controllable manner.
Vortices trapped in thin-film superconducting microwave resonators can have a significant influence on the resonator performance. Using a variable-linewidth geometry for a weakly coupled resonator we are able to observe the effects of a single vortex
trapped in the resonator through field cooling. For resonant modes where the vortex is near a current antinode, the presence of even a single vortex leads to a measurable decrease in the quality factor and a dispersive shift of the resonant frequency. For modes with the vortex located at a current node, the presence of the vortex results in no detectable excess loss and, in fact, produces an increase in the quality factor. We attribute this enhancement to a reduction in the density of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in the resonator due to the suppressed gap from the vortex.
Abrikosov vortex contains magnetic field and circulating currents that decay at a short range $lambda sim 100$ nm. However, the vortex can induce a long range Josephson phase shift at distances $rsimmu$m$gglambda$. The mechanism of this puzzling phen
omenon is not clearly understood. Here we present a systematic study of vortex-induced phase shift in planar Josephson junctions. We make two key observations: (i) The cutoff effect: although vortex-induce phase shift is a long-range phenomenon, it is terminated by the junction and does not persists beyond it. (ii) A crossover from linear to superlinear dependence of the phase shift on the vortex polar angle occurs upon approaching of the vortex to the junction. The crossover occurs at a distance comparable with the penetration depth. This, together with theoretical and numerical analysis of the problem, allows unambiguous identification of two distinct and independent mechanisms. The short range mechanism is due to circulating vortex currents {it inside} superconducting electrodes without involvement of magnetic field. The long range mechanism is due to stray magnetic fields {it outside} electrodes without circulating vortex currents. We argue that understanding of controlling parameters of vortex-induced Josephson phase shift can be used for development of compact and fast electronic devices with low dissipation power.
We investigate quasi-particle excitation modes and the topological number of a fractional-flux quantum vortex in a layered (multi-component) superconductor. The Bogoliubov equation for a half-flux quantum vortex is solved to show that there is no low
-lying Andreev bound state near zero energy in the core of a quantum vortex, which is surprisingly in contrast to the result for an inter-flux vortex. Related to this result, there are singular excitation modes that have opposite angular momenta, moving in the opposite direction around the core of the vortex. The topological index (skyrmion number) for a fractional-flux quantum vortex becomes fractional since the topological index is divided into two parts where one from the vortex (bulk) and the other from the kink (domain wall, boundary). The topological numbers for both the vortex and the kink (domain wall) are fractional, and their sum becomes an integer. This shows an interesting analogy between this result and the index theorem for manifolds with boundary. We argue that fractional-flux quantum vortices are not commutative each other and follow non-abelian statistics. This non-abelian statistics of vortices is different from that in p-wave superconductors.
We propose an experimentally feasible setup with ultracold alkaline earth atoms to simulate the dynamics of U(1) lattice gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions with a Chern-Simons term. To this end we consider the ground state properties of spin-5/2 alkali
ne earth fermions in a honeycomb lattice. We use the Gutzwiller projected variational approach in the strongly repulsive regime in the case of filling 1/6. The ground state of the system is a chiral spin liquid state with $2pi/3$ flux per plaquette, which spontaneously violates time reversal invariance. We demonstrate that due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry the system exhibits quantum Hall effect and chiral edge states. We relate the experimentally accessible spin fluctuations to the emerging gauge field dynamics. We discuss also properties of the lowest energy competing orders.
