Such system would allow to probe non-Abelian properties of Majorana quasiparticles and realize the ultimate goal of Majorana research - topological qubit for topologically protected quantum computations. Here we propose and develop a new platform to support and manipulate non-Abelian excitations which is based on ferromagnetic transitions in a quantum Hall effect regime. Electrostatic control of ferromagnetic transition at $\\nu=2$ in high mobility 2D gases in CdMnTe allows formation of domain walls along gate boundary, and we show that short ($<4\\ \\mu$m) channels are conducting at low temperatures. We show that channels resistance is invariant under field inversion, unlike chiral channels formed between different QHE states. Coupled to a s-wave superconductor these channels should support Majorana excitations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-10T18:40:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall ferromagnets", "electrostatically-defined spin-full channels", "mesoscopic transport", "one-dimensional topological superconductor channels", "ferromagnetic transition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
