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 …

We generalize the classical thermal Mpemba effect (where an initially hot system relaxes
faster to the final equilibrium state than a cold one) to open quantum systems coupled to …

Artificial Kitaev chains, formed by quantum dots coupled via superconductors, have
emerged as a promising platform for realizing Majorana bound states. Even a minimal …

The possibility to engineer a Kitaev chain in quantum dots coupled via superconductors has
recently emerged as a promising path toward topological superconductivity and possibly …

Poor man's Majoranas (PMMs) hold the promise to engineer Majorana bound states in a
highly tunable setup consisting of a chain of quantum dots that are connected via …

We demonstrate reliable machine-learned tuning of quantum-dot-based artificial Kitaev
chains to Majorana sweet spots, using the covariance matrix adaptation algorithm. We show …

Realizing Majorana bound states (MBSs) in short, well-controllable chains of coupled
quantum dots sidesteps the problem of disorder but requires finetuning and does not give …

We consider a quantum-dot (QD) based minimal Kitaev chain model and study the effects of
modulation of QD states on the elastic cotunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection …
