We show that a two-dimensional $s$-wave superconductor may become topological in the presence of a magnetic field that leads to the formation of an Abrikosov vortex lattice. Below the upper critical field, a superconducting state with a…

Disorder is ubiquitous in quantum materials, and its interplay with topology can generate phases absent in the clean limit. Using the Haldane model as a minimal setting, we show that disorder not only shifts topological boundaries but also…

Chains of magnetic atoms with either strong spin-orbit coupling or spiral magnetic order which are proximity-coupled to superconducting substrates can host topologically non-trivial Majorana bound states. The experimental signature of these…

High-order topological phases host robust boundary states at the boundary of the boundary, which can be interpreted from their boundary topology. In this work, considering the interplay between superconductors and magnetic fields to gap the…

Magnetic chains on superconductors hosting Majorna Zero Modes (MZMs) attracted high interest due to their possible applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, this is hindered by the lack of a detailed, quantitative…

Quasiparticle interference in a d-wave superconductor with weak disorder produces distinctive peaks in the Fourier-transformed local density of states measured by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We predict that amplitudes of these peaks…
