• Abstract: We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012). Our proposal is based on two quantum dots (QDs) with strong electron-electron interactions that couple via a central QD with proximity-induced superconductivity. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field, gate control of all three QDs allows tuning the system into sweet spots with one MBS localized on each outer dot. We quantify the quality of these MBSs and show how it depends on the Zeeman energy and interaction strength. We also show how nonlocal transport spectroscopy can be used to identify sweet spots with high MBS quality. Our results provide a path for investigating MBS physics in a setting that is free of many of the doubts and uncertainties that plague other platforms.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

• High-quality poor man's Majorana bound states from cavity embedding [0.0]
  Poor man's Majorana Bound States arise in minimal Kitaev chains when the parameters are fine-tuned to a sweet spot. We consider an interacting two-site Kitaev chain coupled to a single-mode cavity and show that the sweet spot condition can be controlled with the cavity frequency and the hopping between sites.

  Quantum state transfer (QST) describes the coherent passage of quantum information from one node to another. We describe Monte Carlo techniques which enable the discovery of a Hamiltonian that gives high-fidelity QST. The resulting Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard and periodic Anderson models can, in principle, be engineered in appropriate hardware to give efficient QST.

  We have studied the electron teleportation between two quantum dots via multiple MBSs in a superconductor island. In the presence of Majorana couplings, the elastic and inelastic teleportations are selective according to which pair of MBSs are coupled. Our findings are meaningful for resolving transport signatures induced by topological MBSs and that stems from nontopological quasiparticle.
