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 …

Inhomogeneous superconductors can host electronic excitations, known as Andreev bound
states (ABSs), below the superconducting energy gap. With the advent of topological …

We present measurements and simulations of semiconductor-superconductor
heterostructure devices that are consistent with the observation of topological …

INTRODUCTION Majorana zero modes (MZMs) localized at the ends of one-dimensional
topological superconductors are promising candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing …

Hybrid nanowires combining semiconductor and superconductor materials appear well
suited for the creation, detection, and control of Majorana bound states (MBSs). We …

Majorana modes are zero-energy excitations of a topological superconductor that exhibit
non-Abelian statistics,–. Following proposals for their detection in a semiconductor nanowire …

We present designs for scalable quantum computers composed of qubits encoded in
aggregates of four or more Majorana zero modes, realized at the ends of topological …

We consider a two-dimensional electron gas with strong spin-orbit coupling contacted by
two superconducting leads, forming a Josephson junction. We show that in the presence of …

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

Topological superconductivity is an exotic state of matter characterized by spinless p-wave
Cooper pairing of electrons and by Majorana zero modes at the edges. The first signature of …
