Non-Abelian statistics and topological quantum information processing in 1D wire networks
The synthesis of a quantum computer remains an ongoing challenge in modern physics. Whereas decoherence stymies most approaches, topological quantum computation schemes evade decoherence at the… Expand
Topological superconducting phase in helical Shiba chains
- F. Pientka, L. Glazman, F. Oppen
- Physics
- 19 August 2013
Recently, it has been suggested that topological superconductivity and Majorana end states can be realized in a chain of magnetic impurities on the surface of an s-wave superconductor when the… Expand
Synthetic electric fields and phonon damping in carbon nanotubes and graphene
- F. Oppen, F. Guinea, E. Mariani
- Physics
- 29 April 2009
Within the Dirac theory of the electronic properties of graphene, smoothly varying lattice strain affects the Dirac carriers through a synthetic gauge field. For static lattice strain, the gauge… Expand
Franck–Condon blockade in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots

- Physics
- 19 December 2008
Understanding the influence of vibrational motion of the atoms on electronic transitions in molecules constitutes a cornerstone of quantum physics, as epitomized by the Franck–Condon principle1, 2 of… Expand
Theory of the Franck-Condon blockade regime
- J. Koch, F. Oppen, A. V. Andreev
- Physics
- 20 June 2006
Strong coupling of electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom entails a low-bias suppression of the current through single-molecule devices, termed the Franck-Condon blockade. In the limit of slow… Expand
Real-space tailoring of the electron-phonon coupling in ultraclean nanotube mechanical resonators

A mechanism for coupling the electrons and vibrational motion of a suspended carbon nanotube is now demonstrated. Tailoring the coupling between specific electronic and phononic modes by controlling… Expand
Temperature-dependent resistivity of suspended graphene
- Eros Mariani, F. Oppen
- Physics
- 10 August 2010
In this paper we investigate the electron-phonon contribution to the resistivity of suspended single-layer graphene. In-plane as well as flexural phonons are addressed in different temperature… Expand
Thermopower of single-molecule devices
We investigate the thermopower of single molecules weakly coupled to metallic leads. We model the molecule in terms of the relevant electronic orbitals coupled to phonons corresponding to both… Expand
Electronic correlations in twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle
- Y. Choi, J. Kemmer, +11 authors S. Nadj-Perge
- Physics
- 10 January 2019
Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1° features a pair of isolated flat electronic bands and forms a platform for investigating strongly correlated electrons. Here, we use… Expand
Electron attraction mediated by Coulomb repulsion
