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

The critical current of a superconductor can depend on the direction of current flow due to
magnetochiral anisotropy when both inversion and time-reversal symmetry are broken, an …

We discuss the properties of topologically nontrivial superconducting phases and the
conditions for their realization in condensed matter, the criteria for the appearance of …

We study an analytical model of a Rashba nanowire that is partially covered by and coupled
to a thin superconducting layer, where the uncovered region of the nanowire forms a …

We consider a Josephson junction bilayer consisting of two tunnel-coupled two-dimensional
electron gas layers with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, proximitized by a top and bottom s …

We study the effect of gate-induced electric fields on the properties of semiconductor-
superconductor hybrid nanowires which represent a promising platform for realizing …

We report the emergence of zero-energy states in the trivial phase of a short nanowire
junction with a strong spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field, formed by strong coupling …

Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices are currently one of the most promising
platforms for realizing Majorana zero modes. Their topological properties are controlled by …

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 …

We develop a unified numerical approach for modeling semiconductor-superconductor
heterostructures. All the key physical ingredients of these systems—orbital effect of magnetic …
