During the past 15 years a new field has emerged, which combines superconductivity and
spintronics, with the goal to pave a way for new types of devices for applications combining …

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

The recent discovery of AV 3 Sb 5 (A= K, Rb, Cs) has uncovered an intriguing arena for
exotic Fermi surface instabilities in a kagome metal. Among them, superconductivity is found …

Non-Hermiticity enriches topological phases beyond the existing Hermitian framework.
Whereas their unusual features with no Hermitian counterparts were extensively explored, a …

Majorana fermions (particles that are their own antiparticle) may or may not exist in nature as
elementary building blocks, but in condensed matter they can be constructed out of electron …

Topological superconductors are novel classes of quantum condensed phases,
characterized by topologically nontrivial structures of Cooper pairing states. On the surfaces …

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …

This short review paper provides a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly growing research
field of Majorana fermions in topological superconductors. We first discuss in some detail the …

We complete a classification of topological phases and their topological defects in crystalline
insulators and superconductors. We consider topological phases and defects described by …

Motivated by the striking promise of quantum computation, Majorana bound states (MBSs) in
solid-state systems have attracted wide attention in recent years. In particular, the …
