Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

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 are quasiparticle excitations in condensed matter systems that have
been proposed as building blocks of fault-tolerant quantum computers. They are expected to …

Majorana fermions are predicted to localize at the edge of a topological superconductor, a
state of matter that can form when a ferromagnetic system is placed in proximity to a …

Semiconductor InSb nanowires are expected to provide an excellent material platform for
the study of Majorana fermions in solid state systems. Here, we report on the realization of a …

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

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 provide a current perspective on the rapidly develo** field of Majorana zero modes
(MZMs) in solid-state systems. We emphasise the theoretical prediction, experimental …

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 …

We introduce a scheme for preparation, manipulation, and read out of Majorana zero modes
in semiconducting wires with mesoscopic superconducting islands. Our approach …
