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

After a recent series of rapid and exciting developments, the long search for the Majorana
fermion—the elusive quantum entity at the border between particles and antiparticles—has …

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 …

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

Robust zero-bias transport anomalies in semiconducting nanowires with proximity-induced
superconductivity have been convincingly demonstrated in various experiments. While …

We investigate transport through normal-superconductor nanowire junctions in the presence
of spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field. As the Zeeman field crosses the critical bulk value …

We present a unified study of the effect of periodic, quasiperiodic, and disordered potentials
on topological phases that are characterized by Majorana end modes in one-dimensional p …

We study normal transport and the subgap spectrum of superconductor-normal-
superconductor (SNS) junctions made of semiconducting nanowires with strong Rashba …
