Abstract Majorana fermions are spin-1/2 neutral particles that are their own antiparticles and
were initially predicted by Ettore Majorana in particle physics but their observation still …

Odd-frequency superconductivity represents a truly unconventional ordered state which, in
contrast to conventional superconductivity, exhibits pair correlations which are odd in …

In this Tutorial, we give a pedagogical introduction to Majorana bound states (MBSs) arising
in semiconducting nanostructures. We start by briefly reviewing the well-known Kitaev chain …

Recent progress in the understanding of multiband superconductivity and its relationship to
odd‐frequency pairing are reviewed herein. The discussion begins by reviewing the …

We first show the realization of exceptional points in a non-Hermitian superconducting
system based on a conventional superconductor and then demonstrate that, surprisingly, the …

We consider a finite-size topological Josephson junction formed at the edge of a two-
dimensional topological insulator in proximity to conventional superconductors and study …

Parafermions are generalizations of Majorana fermions that may appear in interacting
topological systems. They are known to be powerful building blocks of topological quantum …

We consider normal-superconductor (NS) and superconductor-normal-superconductor
(SNS) junctions based on one-dimensional nanowires with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and …

Majorana bound states are interesting candidates for applications in topological quantum
computation. Low-energy models allowing one to grasp their properties are hence …

Odd-frequency Cooper pairs with chiral symmetry emerging at the edges of topological
superconductors are a useful physical quantity for characterizing the topological properties …
