We present measurements and simulations of semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure devices that are consistent with the observation of topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes. The devices are fabricated from high-mobility…
A one-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological superconductor hosts a Majorana Kramers pair at each end, where time-reversal symmetry acts as a supersymmetry that flips local fermion parity. We examine the transport anomaly of such a…
We investigate Majorana modes in a quantum spin chain with bond-dependent exchange interactions by studying its dynamics. Specifically, we consider two-time correlations for the Kitaev-Heisenberg (KH) Hamiltonian close to the so-called…
Topological superconductivity is an exotic state of matter that supports Majorana zero-modes, which are surface modes in 3D, edge modes in 2D or localized end states in 1D. In the case of complete localization these Majorana modes obey…
We investigate transport properties of different realizations of one-dimensional quantum wires coupled to a number of external electrodes in terms of the full counting statistics. Focusing on the set-ups in which edge states of Majorana…
Second order topological insulator can be engineered from two-dimensional materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and in-plane Zeeman field. In proximity to superconductor, topological superconducting phase could be induced in the…
Two-dimensional $p_x+ip_y$ topological superconductors host gapless Majorana edge modes, as well as Majorana bound states at the core of $h/2e$ vortices. Here we construct a model realizing the fractional counterpart of this phase: a…
Topological phases, like the celebrated Haldane phase in spin-1 chains, defy characterization through local order parameters. Instead, non-local string order parameters can be employed to reveal their hidden order. Similar diluted magnetic…
A two-dimensional superconductor with spin-triplet p-wave pairing supports chiral or helical Majorana edge modes with a quantized (length $L$-independent) thermal conductance. Sufficiently strong anisotropy removes both chirality and…
Topological superconductors are one of the most actively studied materials these days. They are a promising candidate for hosting Majorana fermions either on their boundaries or in vortex cores. Detecting 1D edge current around the…
We propose to measure the differential conductance $G$ as a function of the bias $V$ for a quantum dot side-coupled to a topological superconductor to detect the existence of the chiral Majorana edge states. It turns out that $G$ for the…
We show that topological phases should be realizable in readily available and well studied heterostructures. In particular we identify a new class of topological materials which are well known in spintronics: helical…
We investigate teleportation interference associated with the non-local character of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) as a probe of MZMs focusing on the tolerance of teleportation against disturbances, such as inhomogeneous potentials at…
We demonstrate that recent angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy experiments provide strong evidence for the existence of two competing topological superconducting phases in FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$. The coupling of their underlying…
We study a time-reversal invariant vortex, namely a spin vortex, in helical superconductors by focusing on its emergent gravitational structure. The topology of the time-reversal invariant vortex is classified by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant:…
We investigate the topological phases in a coupled one-dimensional p-wave superconducting Fibonacci quasicrystal modeled by the quasiperiodic Kitaev chain. Recent studies have shown that the coupled system can host topological edge modes…
The chiral topological superconductor in two dimensions has a full pairing gap in the bulk and a single chiral Majorana state at the edge. The vortex of the chiral superconducting state carries a Majorana zero mode which is responsible for…
Combination of proximity-induced superconductivity and ferromagnetic exchange field in a two-dimensional square-lattice antiferromagnet with spin-orbit coupling and nonsymmorphic symmetry can induce a topological superconductor phase with…
We develop a theory of the nonlocal conductance $G_{RL}(V)$ for a disordered Majorana wire tuned near the topological transition critical point. Under these conditions, the antisymmetric part of the differential conductance, $[G_{RL}(V) -…
Two-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by gapped bulk states and gapless helical edge states, i.e. time-reversal symmetric edge states accommodating a pair of counter-propagating electrons. An external magnetic field…
