The boundary modes of one dimensional quantum systems can play host to a variety of remarkable phenomena. They can be used to describe the physics of impurities in higher dimensional systems, such as the ubiquitous Kondo effect or can…
Majorana modes, typically arising at the edges of one-dimensional topological superconductors, are considered to be a promising candidate for encoding nonlocal qubits in fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we propose to exploit the…
The non-local coherent nature of the Majorana devices is one of the key factors for realizing decoherence-free topological qubits. Direct observation of this coherent nature could provide a first-step benchmarking scheme to validate…

Majorana fermions are predicted to arise at the ends of nanowire devices which combine superconductivity, strong spin-orbit coupling and an external magnetic field. By manipulating networks of these devices with suitable gating, it has been…
Braiding Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is the key procedure toward topological quantum computation. However, the complexity of the braiding manipulation hinders its experimental realization. Here we propose an experimental setup composing of…
It has been proposed that localized zero-energy Majorana states can be realized in a two-dimensional network of quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor wires that are proximity-coupled to a bulk superconductor. The wires should have strong…
Zero-energy Majorana bound states in superconductors have been proposed to be potential building blocks of a topological quantum computer, because quantum information can be encoded in the fermion occupation of a pair of {\it spatially…

Proximity-induced superconductivity in low-dimensional systems offers a powerful pathway to engineer topological superconducting phases in, otherwise, non-superconducting systems. These exotic phases are of fundamental and technological…
Spin-orbit coupled semiconducting nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity are expected to host Majorana zero modes at their endpoints when a sufficiently strong magnetic field is applied. The resulting phase would be a…
The temporal evolution of a quantum system can be characterized by quantum process tomography, a complex task that consumes a number of physical resources scaling exponentially with the number of subsystems. An alternative approach to the…
We address the issue whether it is possible to generate Majorana bound states at the magnetic-superconducting interface in two-dimensional topological insulators with hidden Dirac points in the spectrum. In this case, the Dirac point of…
In large-scale, data-driven applications, parameters are often only known approximately due to noise and limited data samples. In this paper, we focus on high-dimensional optimization problems with linear constraints under uncertain…
In topology optimization of compliant mechanisms, the specific placement of boundary conditions strongly affects the resulting material distribution and performance of the design. At the same time, the most effective locations of the loads…
