Emergence of supersymmetry on the surface of three dimensional topological insulators
Abstract
We propose two possible experimental realizations of a 2+1 dimensional
spacetime supersymmetry at a quantum critical point on the surface of three
dimensional topological insulators. The quantum critical point between the
semi-metallic state with one Dirac fermion and the s-wave superconducting state
on the surface is described by a supersymmetric conformal field theory within
$\epsilon$-expansion. We predict the exact voltage dependence of the
differential conductance at the supersymmetric critical point.
