One-dimensional quantum nanowires and Majorana zero modes
Length but no width or height? That’s a quantum nanowire according to a Jan. 18, 2021 news item on Nanowerk (Note: A link has been removed), Why is studying spin properties of one-dimensional quantum nanowires important?Quantum nanowires–which have length but no width or height–provide a unique environment for the formation and detection of a quasiparticle known as a Majorana zero mode.A new UNSW [University of New South Wales]-led study (Nature Communications, “New signatures of the…
