Majorana bound states are expected to appear in one-dimensional semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems, provided they are homogenous enough to host a global topological phase. In order to experimentally investigate the uniformity of…
Theoretical research suggests a emergence of the Majorana bound states at the ends of the nanowires. Experimental verifications of said concept has already been executed, e.g., in superconductor/semiconductor nanowire devices where…
We perform tunneling measurements on indium antimonide nanowire/superconductor hybrid devices fabricated for the studies of Majorana bound states. At finite magnetic field, resonances that strongly resemble Majorana bound states, including…
Edge states of semi-infinite nanowires in tight binding limit are examined. We argue that understanding these edge states provides a pathway to generic comprehension of surface states in many semi-infinite physical systems. It is shown that…
We fabricate three-terminal hybrid devices with a nanowire segment proximitized by a superconductor, and with two tunnel probe contacts on either side of that segment. We perform simultaneous tunneling measurements on both sides. We…
Sub-gap states in semiconducting-superconducting nanowire hybrid devices are controversially discussed as potential topologically non-trivial quantum states. One source of ambiguity is the lack of an energetically and spatially well defined…
Superconductor--semiconductor hybrid systems play a crucial role in realizing nanoscale quantum devices, including hybrid qubits, Majorana bound states, and Kitaev chains. For such hybrid devices, subgap states play a prominent role in…
We report electron transport studies on InSb-Al hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowire devices. Tunnelling spectroscopy is used to measure the evolution of subgap states while varying magnetic field and voltages applied to various…
We investigate zero-bias conductance peaks that arise from coalescing subgap Andreev states, consistent with emerging Majorana zero modes, in hybrid semiconductor-superconductor wires defined in a two-dimensional InAs/Al heterostructure…
Multimode spinless p-wave superconducting wires with a width W much smaller than the superconducting coherence length \xi are known to have multiple low-energy subgap states localized near the wire's ends. Here we compare the typical…
One of the most promising platforms for one-dimensional topological superconductivity is based on semiconducting nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), where s-wave superconductivity is induced by proximity effect and an external…
One of the most essential aspects of cuprate superconductors is a large pseudogap coexisting with a superconducting gap, then some anomalous properties can be understood in terms of the formation of the pseudogap. Within the kinetic energy…
Superconductivity can be understood in terms of a phase transition from an uncorrelated electron gas to a condensate of Cooper pairs in which the relative phases of the constituent electrons are coherent over macroscopic length scales. The…
We investigate the role of the coupling between a spin-orbit coupled semiconductor nanowire and a conventional $s$-wave superconductor on the emergence of the topological superconducting phase with Majorana bound states in an applied…
Strongly correlated electrons systems may exhibit a variety of interesting phenomena, for instance, superconductivity and pseudogap, as is the case of cuprates and pnictides. In strongly correlated electron systems, it is considered…
We develop a theory for the proximity effect in superconductor-semiconductor-normal metal tunneling structures, which have recently been extensively studied experimentally, leading to the observation of transport signatures consistent with…
We study proximity-induced superconductivity in gold nanowires as a function of the length of the nanowire, magnetic field, and excitation current. Short nanowires exhibit a sharp superconducting transition, whereas long nanowires show…
We study a semiconductor wire with strong spin-orbit coupling, which is proximity-coupled to a superconductor with chemical potential disorder. When tunneling at the semiconductor- superconductor interface is very weak, it is known that…
In recent years, experimental advances have made it possible to achieve an unprecedented degree of control over the properties of subgap bound states in hybrid nanoscale superconducting structures. This research has been driven by the…
Three-terminal topological superconducting nanowire (TSNW)-quantum dot (QD) hybrid junction devices are studied. The energy spectra and the wave functions of the subgap states are calculated as a function of the superconducting phase…
