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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Artificial Kitaev chains can be used to engineer Majorana bound states (MBSs) in
superconductor–semiconductor hybrids,,–. In this work, we realize a two-site Kitaev chain in …

Topological superconductivity can emerge from the combination of conventional
superconductivity in a metal and strong spin–orbit coupling in a semiconductor when they …

Motivated by the need to understand and simulate the ubiquitous experimentally observed
zero-bias conductance peaks in superconductor-semiconductor hybrid structures, we …

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 …

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