Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian
excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such …

Cooper pairs occupy the ground state of superconductors and are typically composed of
maximally entangled electrons with opposite spin. In order to study the spin and …

A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic cotunneling
(ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host …

The possibility of engineering artificial Kitaev chains in arrays of quantum dots coupled via
narrow superconducting regions has emerged as an attractive way to overcome the disorder …

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

We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's
Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012) …

Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are exotic excitations (in condensed matter systems) of
fundamental scientific interest and hold great promise as the basis of fault-tolerant …

Artificial Kitaev chains, formed by quantum dots coupled via superconductors, have
emerged as a promising platform for realizing Majorana bound states. Even a minimal …

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 …

We report simultaneously acquired local and nonlocal transport spectroscopy in a phase-
biased planar Josephson junction based on an epitaxial InAs-Al hybrid two-dimensional …
