X Abstract

We construct time reversal invariant topological superconductors andsuperfluids in two and three dimensions which are analogous to the recentlydiscovered quantum spin Hall and three-d $Z_2$ topological insulatorsrespectively. These states have a full pairing gap in the bulk, gaplesscounter-propagating Majorana states at the boundary, and a pair of Majoranazero modes associated with each vortex. We show that the time reversal symmetrynaturally emerges as a supersymmetry, which changes the parity of the fermionnumber associated with each time-reversal invariant vortex. In the presence ofexternal T-breaking fields, non-local topological correlation is establishedamong these fields, which is an experimentally observable manifestation of theemergent supersymmetry.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
