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 …

Inhomogeneous superconductors can host electronic excitations, known as Andreev bound
states (ABSs), below the superconducting energy gap. With the advent of topological …

Majorana fermions are predicted to localize at the edge of a topological superconductor, a
state of matter that can form when a ferromagnetic system is placed in proximity to a …

Semiconductor InSb nanowires are expected to provide an excellent material platform for
the study of Majorana fermions in solid state systems. Here, we report on the realization of a …

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

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 …

We provide a current perspective on the rapidly develo** field of Majorana zero modes
(MZMs) in solid-state systems. We emphasise the theoretical prediction, experimental …

The search for Majorana bound states (MBSs) has been fueled by the prospect of using their
non-Abelian statistics for robust quantum computation. Two-dimensional superconducting …

Majorana zero-modes—a type of localized quasiparticle—hold great promise for topological
quantum computing. Tunnelling spectroscopy in electrical transport is the primary tool for …

In the space of less than one decade, the search for Majorana quasiparticles in condensed
matter has become one of the hottest topics in physics. The aim of this review is to provide a …
