BACKGROUND The past two decades have seen intense efforts aimed at building quantum
computing hardware with the potential to solve problems that are intractable on classical …

Among the major avenues that are being pursued for realizing quantum bits, the Majorana-
based approach has been the most recent to be launched. It attempts to realize qubits that …

Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. Leveraging
such protection requires testing its robustness against uncontrolled environmental …

Focusing specifically on the recently retracted work by Zhang et al.[H. Zhang et al., Nature
(London) 556, 74 (2018) NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/nature26142; Retraction, Nature …

Majorana bound states are quasiparticle excitations localized at the boundaries of a
topologically nontrivial superconductor. They are zero-energy, charge-neutral, particle–hole …

One of the most exciting areas of research in quantum condensed matter physics is the push
to create topologically protected qubits using non-Abelian anyons. The focus of these efforts …

We use the available transport measurements in the literature to develop a dataset for the
likely amount of disorder in semiconductor (InAs and InSb) materials which are used in …

We consider a one-dimensional Rashba nanowire in which multiple Andreev bound states
in the bulk of the nanowire form an Andreev band. We show that, under certain …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

The realization of hybrid superconductor–semiconductor quantum devices, in particular a
topological qubit, calls for advanced techniques to readily and reproducibly engineer …
