An external magnetic field is needed to drive a nanowire in proximity to an s-wave superconductor into a topological regime which supports Majorana end states. However, a magnetic field generally suppresses the proximity superconducting gap…

Quantum phase slippage (QPS) in a superconducting nanowire is a new candidate for developing a quantum bit. It has also been theoretically predicted that the occurrence of QPS significantly changes the current-phase relationship (CPR) of…
