Predicted signatures of topological superconductivity and parafermion zero modes in fractional quantum Hall edges

Parafermion zero modes are exotic emergent excitations that can be considered as Z_{n} generalizations of Majorana fermions. Present in fractional quantum Hall-superconductor hybrid systems, among others, they can serve as potential building blocks in fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. We...
