手征马约拉纳费米子是具有手性的无质量费米子, 是其本身的反粒子, 只能存在于1+1维(即1维空间+1维时间)或者9+1维. 在凝聚态物理中, 1维手征马约拉纳费米子可看成1/2分数化的狄拉克费米子, 并作为二维拓扑态的边缘元激发. 奇数个手征马约拉纳费米子边缘态的存在也预示着体系中存在满足非阿贝尔量子统计的伊辛任意子. 手征马约拉纳费米子也可进行非阿贝尔编织, 理论上可用来实现容错量子计算, 因此近年来在凝聚态物理研究中引起了广泛的兴趣. 本文从二维拓扑态出发, 介绍手征拓扑超导态和量子反常霍尔态之间的深刻联系, 并由此得出量子反常霍尔平台转变与超导近邻实现手征马约拉纳费米子的方案, 最后以单通道手征马约拉纳费米子为例, 探讨其实现电子态的非阿贝尓量子门.The chiral Majorana fermion, is a massless fermionic particle being its own antiparticle, which was predicted to live in (1+1)D (i.e. one-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time) or (9+1)D. In condensed matter physics, one-dimensional (1D) chiral Majorana fermion can be viewed as the 1/2 of the chiral Dirac fermion, which could arise as the quasiparticle edge state of a two-dimensional (2D) topological state of matter. The appearance of an odd number of 1D chiral Majorana fermions on the edge implies that there exist the non-Abelian defects in the bulk. The chiral Majorana fermion edge state can be used to realize the non-Abelian quantum gate operations on electron states. Starting with the topological states in 2D, we illustrate the general and intimate relation between chiral topological superconductor and quantum anomalous Hall insulator, which leads to the theoretical prediction of the chiral Majorana fermion from the quantum anomalous Hall plateau transition in proximity to a conventional s-wave superconductor. We show that the propagation of chiral Majorana fermions leads to the same unitary transformation as that in the braiding of Majorana zero modes, and may be used for the topological quantum computation.

Fig. 1. Topological states in 2D. Top row: Schematic comparison of a 2D chiral superconductor and the QH/QAH state. In both systems, TR symmetry is broken and the edge states carry a definite chirality. Bottom row: Schematic comparison of a 2D TR-invariant TSC and the QSH insulator. Both systems preserve TR symmetry and have a helical pair of edge states, where opposite spin states counterpropagate. The dashed lines show that the edge states of the superconductors are Majorana fermions so that the E < 0 part of the quasiparticle spectra is redundant. In terms of the edge-state degrees of freedom, we have (QSH) = (QH/QAH)2 = (Helical SC)2 = (Chiral SC)4. The QAH state can be obtained from the QSH state by magnetic doping, and the chiral TSC state can be obtained from the QAH state by proximity contact with a conventional superconductor. The superscripts 1, 2, 4 denote relation of the number of degree of freedom of edge states in these topological matter. Adapted from Ref. [26], APS.
