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 …

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 …

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

INTRODUCTION Majorana zero modes (MZMs) localized at the ends of one-dimensional
topological superconductors are promising candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing …

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 …

Nonequilibrium quasiparticle excitations degrade the performance of a variety of
superconducting circuits. Understanding the energy distribution of these quasiparticles will …

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