Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are exotic excitations (in condensed matter systems) that have potential applications in topological quantum computation. Though MZMs have been predicted on many platforms, their existence of them is still under debate. In this paper, we review the recent progress of engineering and detecting MZMs in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. We also briefly review the protocols of implementing topological quantum computation by hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowires.
