Heterostructures comprised of a magnetic topological insulator (MTI) placed in the proximity of an $s$-wave superconductor have emerged as a platform for the practical realization of Majorana bound states (MBSs). More specifically, it has…

Magnetic chains on superconducting systems have emerged as a platform for realization of Majorana bound states (MBSs) in condensed matter systems with possible applications to topological quantum computation. In this work we study the MBSs…

We investigate one-dimensional (1D) Majorana bound states (MBSs) realized in terms of the helical edge states of a 2D quantum spin-Hall insulator (QSHI) in a heterostructure with a superconducting substrate and two ferromagnetic insulators…

Majorana bound states (MBSs) are quasiparticles which are their own antiparticles. They are predicted to emerge as zero-energy modes localized at the boundary of a topological superconductor. No intrinsic topological superconductor is known…

We consider a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) wire with a non-uniform chemical potential induced by gating across the cross-section. This inhomogeneity in chemical potential lifts the degeneracy between two one-dimensional…

The search for robust topological superconductivity and Majorana bound states continues, exploring both one-dimensional (1D) systems such as semiconducting nanowires and two-dimensional (2D) platforms. In this work we study a 2D approach…

We study the conductance afforded by a normal-metal probe which is directly contacting the helical edge modes of a quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI). We show a $2e^2/h$ conductance peak at zero temperature in QSHI-based…

A chain of quantum dots (QDs) in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems can form an artificial Kitaev chain hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs). These zero-energy states are expected to be localised on the edges of the chain, at the…

We consider an atomic chain of magnetic impurities on the surface of a spin-orbit coupled superconductor with a dominating $d$-wave and sub-dominating $s$-wave order parameters. In particular, we investigate the properties of the Majorana…

Conventional $n$-dimensional topological superconductors (TSCs) have protected gapless $(n - 1)$-dimensional boundary states. In contrast to this, second-order TSCs are characterized by topologically protected gapless $(n - 2)$-dimensional…

Confinement at the helical edge of a topological insulator is possible in the presence of proximity-induced magnetic (F) or superconducting (S) order. The interplay of both phenomena leads to the formation of localized Majorana bound states…

We study how the shape of a periodic magnetic field affects the presence of Majorana bound states (MBS) in a nanowire-superconductor system. Motivated by the field configurations that can be produced by an array of nanomagnets, we consider…

Majorana bound states (MBS) are well-established in the clean limit in chains of ferromagnetically aligned impurities deposited on conventional superconductors with finite spin-orbit coupling. Here we show that these MBS are very robust…

Topological insulator (TI) nanoribbons with proximity-induced superconductivity are a promising platform for Majorana bound states (MBSs). In this work, we consider a detailed modeling approach for a TI nanoribbon in contact with a…

We study a chain of magnetic impurities on a conventional superconductor with spin-orbit coupling, treating the superconducting order fully self-consistently. We find and quantify strong hybridization between the topological edge Majorana…

Hybrid nanowires combining semiconductor and superconductor materials appear well suited for the creation, detection, and control of Majorana bound states (MBSs). We demonstrate the emergence of MBSs from coalescing Andreev bound states…

Magnetic topological insulators in the quantum anomalous Hall regime host ballistic chiral edge channels. When proximitized by an $s$-wave superconductor, these edge states offer the potential for realizing topological superconductivity and…

We investigate helical edge states (HES) emerging at the composite domain wall of spin and pseudo-spin degrees of freedom in a 2-D bulk governed by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang Hamiltonian which underwent quantum spin Hall to anomalous Hall…

Magnet-superconductor hybrid (MSH) structures represent one of the most promising platforms to realize, control and manipulate Majorana modes using scanning tunneling methods. By depositing either chains or islands of magnetic atoms on the…

We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012). Our proposal is based on two quantum dots (QDs) with strong electron-electron…
