2. 1. Geometric and Topological Phases with Applications to Quantum Computation

   Author : Marie Ericsson; Ignacio Cirac; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; geometric phases; topological phases; quantum computation; mixed states; completely positive maps; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Quantum phenomena related to geometric and topological phases are investigated. The first results presented are theoretical extensions of these phases and related effects. Also experimental proposals to measure some of the described effects are outlined. READ MORE

4. 2. Entanglement and Quantum Computation from a Geometric and Topological Perspective

   Author : Markus Johansson; Marie Ericsson; Jens Eisert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum Information; Geometric Phases; Topological Phases; Entanglement; Quantum Computation;

   Abstract : In this thesis we investigate geometric and topological structures in the context of entanglement and quantum computation.A parallel transport condition is introduced in the context of Franson interferometry based on the maximization of two-particle coincidence intensity. READ MORE

5. 3. Solvable Topological Boundaries

   Author : Flore Kiki Kunst; Emil Bergholtz; Henning Schomerus; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Abstract : The hallmark of topological phases of matter is the presence of robust boundary states. In this dissertation, a formalism is developed with which analytical solutions for these states can be straightforwardly obtained by making use of destructive interference, which is naturally present in a large family of lattice models.

6. 4. Topological Phases of Non-Hermitian physics

   Author : Lukas Rødland; Maria Hermanns; Jorge Cayao; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : Non-Hermitian physics has introduced phenomena like the skin effect and exceptional points, challenging traditional views of topological phases. This thesis contrasts two classification frameworks for non-Hermitian systems. READ MORE

7. 5. Topological Phase Transitions in Magnetic Nanostructures of Dirac Materials

   Author : Nezhat Pournaghavi; Carlo M. Canali; Michael Flatté; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Topological insulators; Magnetic materials; Quantum anomalous Hall effect; Topological magneto electric effect; Dirac semimetals; Weyl semimetals; Condensed Matter Physics; Kondenserade materians fysik;

   Abstract : Over the past two decades, the discovery of topological Dirac materials, such as topological insulators and semimetals, has defined a new paradigm in condensed matter physics and established new platforms for realizing spin electronic devices and quantum computing. The novel quantum properties of these materials, which are mainly due to the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling, are invariant under topological transformations, making them more resilient to structural disorder, electromagnetic and thermal fluctuations in comparison to the conventional silicon-based materials.
