Topological phases with parafermions: theory and blueprints by Alicea, J, Fendley, P

“…In particular, we highlight how parafermion chains host a topological phase featuring protected edge zero modes. We then tour several blueprints for the laboratory realization of parafermion zero modes—focusing on quantum Hall/superconductor hybrids, quantum Hall bilayers, and two-dimensional topological insulators—and describe striking experimental fingerprints that they provide. …”
