Abstract Majorana fermions are spin-1/2 neutral particles that are their own antiparticles and
were initially predicted by Ettore Majorana in particle physics but their observation still …

A personal perspective is given on a decade of research on Majorana bound states (MBS) in
hybrid devices of semiconducting nanowires covered with a superconductor. Predicted …

In bulk superconductors or Josephson junctions formed in materials with spin-orbit
interaction, the critical current can depend on the direction of current flow or of applied …

Poor man's Majoranas (PMMs) hold the promise to engineer Majorana bound states in a
highly tunable setup consisting of a chain of quantum dots that are connected via …

We demonstrate reliable machine-learned tuning of quantum-dot-based artificial Kitaev
chains to Majorana sweet spots, using the covariance matrix adaptation algorithm. We show …

We consider superconductor-normal-superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNSNS)
planar Josephson junctions in hole systems with spin-orbit interaction that is cubic in …

Disorder has appeared as one of the main mechanisms to induce topologically trivial zero-
energy states in superconductor-semiconductor systems, thereby challenging the detection …

We perform supercurrent and tunneling spectroscopy measurements on gate-tunable
InAs/Al Josephson junctions (JJs) in an in-plane magnetic field and report on phase shifts in …

We investigate the properties of a Fibonacci quasicrystal (QC) arrangement of a one-
dimensional topological superconductor, such as a magnetic atom chain deposited on a …

We consider a one-dimensional topological superconductor hosting Majorana bound states
at its ends coupled to a single mode cavity. In the strong light-matter coupling regime …
