Models of interacting Majorana modes may be realized in vortex lattices in superconducting films in contact with topological insulators and may be tuned to the strong interaction regime by adjusting the chemical potential. Extending the results on one- and two-dimensional Majorana-Hubbard models, here we study two- and four-leg ladders using both field theory and the {density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG)} methods, finding a phase diagram largely consistent with that proposed for the two…

Recent progress on the proposed experimental setups, analytical and numerical results on low-dimensional lattice mod- els, and the exactly solvable Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model suggest that strongly correlated phases of matter with Majorana building blocks can exhibit many novel phenoms, such as emergent spacetime supersymmetry, topological order and the physics of black-holes, in condensed matter systems.
