Over the past decade, there have been considerable efforts to observe non-abelian
quasiparticles in novel quantum materials and devices. These efforts are motivated by the …

Exotic states such as topological insulators, superconductors and quantum spin liquids are
often challenging or impossible to create in a single material,–. For example, it is unclear …

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

A recent experiment [Nadj-Perge et al., Science 346, 602 (2014)] provides evidence for
Majorana zero modes in iron (Fe) chains on the superconducting Pb (110) surface. Here, we …

A major challenge in develo** topological superconductors for implementing topological
quantum computing is their characterization and control. It has been proposed that ap-wave …

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 …

Superconducting proximity pairing in helical edge modes, such as those of topological
insulators, is predicted to provide a unique platform for realizing Majorana zero modes …

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