Non-equilibrium topological phenomena can be induced in quantum many-body systems
using time-periodic fields (for example, by laser or microwave illumination). This Review …

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

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Materials can harbour quantum many-body systems, most typically in the form of strongly
correlated electrons in solids, that lead to novel and remarkable functions thanks to …

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 …

Semiconductor nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity are leading contenders
for manifesting Majorana fermions in condensed matter,,,–. However, unambiguous …
