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 …

Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the
theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …

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

Minimal Kitaev chains composed of two semiconducting quantum dots coupled via a
superconductor have emerged as a promising platform to realize and study Majorana bound …

In a recent breakthrough experiment [Nature (London) 614, 445 (2023) 10.1038/s41586-022-
05585-1], signatures of Majorana zero modes have been observed in tunnel spectroscopy …

Following the demonstration of semiconductor-based Josephson junctions, which are fully
tunable by electrical means, new routes have been opened for the study of hybrid …

We develop a protocol to determine the presence and extent of a topological phase with
Majorana zero modes in a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor device. The protocol is …

The field of attosecond nanophysics, combining the research areas of attosecond physics
with nanoscale physics, has experienced a considerable rise in recent years, both …

Majorana bound states (MBSs) are quasiparticles that are their own antiparticles. They are
predicted to emerge as zero-energy modes localized at the boundary of a topological …

Converting incoming photons to electrical current is the key operation principle of optical
photodetectors and it enables a host of emerging quantum information technologies. The …
