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 …

During the last ten years, superconducting circuits have passed from being interesting
physical devices to becoming contenders for near-future useful and scalable quantum …

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

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 …

Cooper pairs occupy the ground state of superconductors and are typically composed of
maximally entangled electrons with opposite spin. In order to study the spin and …

Hybrid nanowires combining semiconductor and superconductor materials appear well
suited for the creation, detection, and control of Majorana bound states (MBSs). We …

In the space of less than one decade, the search for Majorana quasiparticles in condensed
matter has become one of the hottest topics in physics. The aim of this review is to provide a …

Originally a part of the study of physics, quantum mechanics is fast becoming an
interdisciplinary field. Quantum computing offers the potential to reach the higher levels of …
