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 …

Quantum computers have made extraordinary progress over the past decade, and
significant milestones have been achieved along the path of pursuing universal fault-tolerant …

In recent years, the notion of'Quantum Materials' has emerged as a powerful unifying
concept across diverse fields of science and engineering, from condensed-matter and …

The possibility of engineering artificial Kitaev chains in arrays of quantum dots coupled via
narrow superconducting regions has emerged as an attractive way to overcome the disorder …

The critical current of a superconductor can depend on the direction of current flow due to
magnetochiral anisotropy when both inversion and time-reversal symmetry are broken, an …

The Josephson diode (JD) is a nonreciprocal circuit element that supports a larger critical
current in one direction compared to the other. This effect has gained growing interest …

A semiconducting nanowire fully wrapped by a superconducting shell has been proposed
as a platform for obtaining Majorana modes at small magnetic fields. In this study, we …

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

Topological insulators (TIs) hold promise as a platform for unique quantum phenomena.
However, realizing these phenomena experimentally requires sophisticated devices. In this …

We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's
Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012) …
