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 …

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 …

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 …

We present designs for scalable quantum computers composed of qubits encoded in
aggregates of four or more Majorana zero modes, realized at the ends of topological …

This review presents an entry-level introduction to topological quantum computation--
quantum computing with anyons. We introduce anyons at the system-independent level of …

Quantum information protected by the topology of the storage medium is expected to exhibit
long coherence times. Another feature is topologically protected gates generated through …

Majorana zero modes are localized quasiparticles that obey non-Abelian exchange
statistics. Braiding Majorana zero modes forms the basis of topologically protected quantum …

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

Over the past decade, there have been considerable efforts to observe non-abelian
quasiparticles in novel quantum materials and devices. These efforts are motivated by the …

One of the most exciting areas of research in quantum condensed matter physics is the push
to create topologically protected qubits using non-Abelian anyons. The focus of these efforts …
