We propose a method of measuring the fermion parity lifetime of Majorana fermion modes due to quasiparticle poisoning. We model quasiparticle poisoning by coupling the Majorana modes to electron reservoirs, explicitly breaking parity…
The tetron architecture is a promising candidate for topological quantum computation. Each tetron Majorana island has four Majorana zero modes, and possible measurements are constrained to span zero or two Majoranas per tetron. Such…
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…
By calculating the differential tunneling conductance spectra from the two ends of a Majorana nanowire with a quantum dot embedded at one end, we establish that a careful examination of the nonlocal correlations of the zero bias conductance…
The non-Abelian statistics of Majorana fermions, their role in topological quantum computation, and the possibility of realizing them in condensed matter systems, has attracted considerable attention. While there have been recent reports of…
Majorana zero modes are expected to arise in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems, with potential topological quantum computing applications. One limitation of this approach is the need for a relatively high external magnetic field…
Demonstration of Majorana non-Abelian properties is a major challenge in the field of topological superconductivity. In this work, we propose a minimal device and protocol for testing non-Abelian properties using charge-transfer operations…
Motivated by the striking promise of quantum computation, Majorana bound states (MBSs) in solid-state systems have attracted wide attention in recent years. In particular, the wavefunction localization of MBSs is a key feature and crucial…
We study multiband semiconducting nanowires proximity-coupled with an s-wave superconductor and calculate the topological phase diagram as a function of the chemical potential and magnetic field. The non-trivial topological state…
We propose a protocol to detect topological phase transitions of one-dimensional $p$-wave superconductors from their harmonic emission spectrum in strong fields. Specifically, we identify spectral features due to radiating edge modes, which…
Recent experiments have produced mounting evidence of Majorana zero modes in nanowire-superconductor hybrids. Signatures of an expected topological phase transition accompanying the onset of these modes nevertheless remain elusive. We…
Solid-state qubits incorporating quantum dots can be read out by gate reflectometry. Here, we theoretically describe physical mechanisms that render such reflectometry-based readout schemes imperfect. We discuss charge qubits,…
We study signatures of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) bound to Josephson vortices in superconductor-three-dimensional topological insulator-superconductor (S-TI-S) Josephson junctions placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. First, using…
Majorana bound states are spatially localized superpositions of electron and hole excitations in the middle of a superconducting energy gap. A single qubit can be encoded nonlocally in a pair of spatially separated Majorana bound states.…
Existing studies via shot noise calculation conclude that the cross correlation between the currents in the two leads connected by a pair of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) vanishes when their coupling energy $\epsilon_M\to 0$. Motivated by the…
Recent tunneling spectroscopy experiments in semiconducting nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity have reported robust zero-bias conductance peaks. Such a feature can be compatible with the existence of topological Majorana…
Nodal topological superconductors characterized by $p_x$-wave pairing symmetry host flat-band Majorana bound states causing drastic anomalies in low-energy electromagnetic responses. Nevertheless, the study of flat-band Majorana bound…
Focusing on the implications of recent experiments on Majorana zero modes in semiconductor-superconductor (SM-SC) heterostructures, we critically examine the quantization of the zero-bias differential conductance as a possible unambiguous…
Mesoscopic superconducting islands hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs), or Majorana islands in short, offer a prototype of topological qubits. In this work we investigate theoretically the model of a generic Majorana island tunneling-coupled…
We study a topological superconducting nanowire that hosts gliding Majorana zero modes in the presence of a microwave cavity field. We show that the cavity decay rate depends on both the parity encoded by the Majorana zero modes and their…
