Light–matter interactions at the single-particle level have generally been explored in the
context of atomic, molecular and optical physics. Recent advances motivated by quantum …

We report a probable observation of the dc Josephson effect in mesoscopic junctions of
three and four superconductors. The devices are fabricated in a top-down fashion from a …

The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain is a prototype example of a symmetry-protected topological
insulator. Coupling it nonperturbatively to local thermal environments, either through the …

A primary motivation for studying topological matter regards the protection of topological
order from its environment. In this work, we study a topological emitter array coupled to an …

We consider a one-dimensional topological superconductor hosting Majorana bound states
at its ends coupled to a single mode cavity. In the strong light-matter coupling regime …

Poor man's Majorana Bound States (MBS) arise in minimal Kitaev chains when the
parameters are fine-tuned to a sweet spot. We consider an interacting two-site Kitaev chain …

Parafermionic zero modes are non-Abelian excitations which have been predicted to
emerge at the boundary of topological phases of matter. Contrary to earlier proposals, here …

We show that the topological phase transition for a Kitaev chain embedded in a cavity can
be identified by measuring experimentally accessible photon observables such as the Fano …

A chain of magnetic impurities deposited on the surface of a superconductor can form a
topological Shiba band that supports Majorana zero modes and holds a promise for …

We propose a route to detect Majorana bound states (MBSs) by coupling a topological
superconductor to quantum dots (QDs) in apnp junction. Here two MBSs are coherently …
