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 …

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 …

While quantum computers promise to solve some scientifically and commercially valuable
problems thought intractable for classical machines, delivering on this promise will require a …

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

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

This review presents an entry-level introduction to topological quantum computation--
quantum computing with anyons. We introduce anyons at the system-independent level of …

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

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 …

Quantum information protected by the topology of the storage medium is expected to exhibit
long coherence times. Another feature is topologically protected gates generated through …

We study the effect of gate-induced electric fields on the properties of semiconductor-
superconductor hybrid nanowires which represent a promising platform for realizing …
