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 …

Recent experiments using the quantum dot coupled to the topological superconducting
nanowire [Deng et al., Science 354, 1557 (2016) 10.1126/science. aaf3961] revealed that …

In this minireview, we outline the recent experimental and theoretical progress in the
creation, characterization and manipulation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) in …

We investigate the effects of magnetic and crystalline anisotropies on the topological
superconducting state of planar Josephson junctions (JJs). In junctions where only Rashba …

Parity control of superconducting islands hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is required
to operate topological qubits made from proximitized semiconductor nanowires. We test this …

We study the Josephson effect in a trijunction formed by two topological superconductor (TS)
wires and a conventional s-wave superconductor. Using a boundary Green's function …

Particle transport across junctions between two superconductors is commonly described
using a simplifying approximation (often called the Andreev approximation), which assumes …

The boundary Green's-function (bGF) approach has been established as a powerful
theoretical technique for computing the transport properties of tunnel-coupled hybrid …

We compute various current-correlation functions of electrons flowing from a topological
nanowire to the tip of a superconducting scanning tunnel microscope and identify …

The 4 π-periodic Josephson effect is a distinguishing feature of a topological Josephson
junction. However, stringent conditions make it hard to observe in experiments. In this work …
