Advances in scaling down heterostructures and having an improved interface quality
together with atomically thin two-dimensional materials suggest a novel approach to …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

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

Topological superconductivity holds promise for fault-tolerant quantum computing. While
planar Josephson junctions are attractive candidates to realize this exotic state, direct phase …

Spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems is usually characterized by Rashba and
Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) linear in the wave vector. However, there is a …

In this Tutorial, we give a pedagogical introduction to Majorana bound states (MBSs) arising
in semiconducting nanostructures. We start by briefly reviewing the well-known Kitaev chain …

The aim of this Tutorial is to give a pedagogical introduction into realizations of Majorana
fermions, usually termed as Majorana bound states (MBSs), in condensed matter systems …

A hallmark of topological superconductivity is the non-Abelian statistics of Majorana bound
states (MBS), its chargeless zero-energy emergent quasiparticles. The resulting …

Planar Josephson junctions provide a platform to host topological superconductivity, which,
through manipulating Majorana bound states (MBS), could enable fault-tolerant quantum …

Topological superconductivity supports exotic Majorana bound states (MBS) which are
chargeless zero-energy emergent quasiparticles. With their non-Abelian exchange statistics …
