In this Tutorial, we give a pedagogical introduction to Majorana bound states (MBSs) arising
in semiconducting nanostructures. We start by briefly reviewing the well-known Kitaev chain …

Overcoming the difficulty in the precise definition of the metal phase of metal–Si
heterostructures is among the key prerequisites to enable reproducible next-generation …

Si1− xGex is a key material in modern complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor and
bipolar devices. However, despite considerable efforts in metal‐silicide and‐germanide …

Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with strong spin-
orbit interaction and electrically tunable g factors, and are therefore emerging as a promising …

Gatemon qubits are the electrically tunable cousins of superconducting transmon qubits. In
this work, we demonstrate the full coherent control of a gatemon qubit based on hole carriers …

The aim of this Tutorial is to give a pedagogical introduction into realizations of Majorana
fermions, usually termed as Majorana bound states (MBSs), in condensed matter systems …
