Realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes in the laboratory is a
major goal in condensed-matter physics. In this Review, we survey the current status of this …

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 …

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 …

In the space of less than one decade, the search for Majorana quasiparticles in condensed
matter has become one of the hottest topics in physics. The aim of this review is to provide a …

Majorana zero modes—quasiparticle states localized at the boundaries of topological
superconductors—are expected to be ideal building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum …

Majorana bound states often occur at the end of a 1D topological superconductor. Validated
by a new bulk invariant and an intuitive edge argument, we show the emergence of one …

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

We study an analytical model of a Rashba nanowire that is partially covered by and coupled
to a thin superconducting layer, where the uncovered region of the nanowire forms a …

We perform tunneling measurements on indium antimonide nanowire-superconductor
hybrid devices fabricated for the studies of Majorana bound states. At finite magnetic field …
