We study the robustness of Majorana zero energy modes and minigaps of quasiparticle excitations in a vortex by numerically solving Bogoliubov-deGennes equations in a heterostructure composed of an \textit{s} -wave superconductor, a…
The unambiguous identification of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is one of the most outstanding problems of condensed matter physics. Thermal transport provides a detection tool that is sensitive to these chargeless quasiparticles. We study…
Braiding Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is the key procedure toward topological quantum computation. We show such braiding can be well performed in a parallel semiconductor-superconductor nanowire structure. Considering the fact that the…
A one-dimensional fermionic system, such as a superconducting wire, may host Majorana zero-energy edge modes (MZMs) at its edges when it is in the topological phase. MZMs provide a path to realising fault-tolerant quantum computation, and…
In a variety of rare-earth based compounds singlet superconductivity coexists with helical magnetism. Here we demonstrate that surfaces of these systems should generically host a finite density of zero-energy Majorana modes. In the limit of…
Majorana zero modes (MZM-s) occurring at the edges of a 1D, p-wave, spinless superconductor, in absence of fluctuations of the phase of the superconducting order parameter, are quintessential examples of topologically-protected zero-energy…
Recently, iron-chalcogenide superconductors have emerged as a new and promising platform for studying and manipulating Majorana zero mode (MZM). By combining topological band structure and superconductivity in a multiband material, they…
We study Majorana zero modes properties in cylindrical cross-section semiconductor quantum wires based on the $k \cdot p$ theory and a discretized lattice model. Within this model, the influence of disorder potentials in the wire and…
Motivated by recent experimental reports of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in quantum-dot systems at the ``sweet spot'', where the electronic hopping $t_h$ is equal to the superconducting coupling $\Delta$, we study the time-dependent…
Spin-orbit coupled semiconductor nanowires with Zeeman splitting in proximity contact with bulk $s$-wave superconductivity have recently been proposed as a promising platform for realizing Majorana fermions. However, in this setup the…
Topological quantum computing and Majorana bound states were initially theorized between 2000 and 2010. These concepts gradually transitioned to practical implementations during the subsequent decade (2010-2020). Various directions have…
It has been proposed that a line junction between spiral magnet and superconductor or between ferromagnet and superconductor with Rashba spin-orbital coupling can produce Majorana zero mode (MZM) at the ends of the line. However, a strong…
The search for a Majorana Fermion has been an area of intense interest in condensed matter research of late. This elusive particle, predicted to exist in 1937, has been sought after for both fundamental and practical reasons. On the…
Majorana-zero-modes (MZMs) were predicted to exist as edge states of a physical system called the Kitaev chain. MZMs should host particles that are their own antiparticles and could be used as a basis for a qubit which is robust-to-noise.…
In proximity to an s-wave superconductor, a one- or two-dimensional, electron- or hole-doped semiconductor with a sizable spin-orbit coupling and a Zeeman splitting can support a topological superconducting (TS) state. The semiconductor TS…
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…
A minimal model for the hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowire Majorana platform is developed that fully captures the effects of the low-energy renormalization of the nanowire modes arising from the presence of the parent…
The creation of topological quantum gates using Majorana zero modes -- an outstanding problem in the field of topological quantum computing -- relies on our ability to control the braiding process of these particles in time and space. Here,…
We introduce non-Hermitian generalizations of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) which appear in the topological phase of a weakly dissipative Kitaev chain coupled to a Markovian bath. Notably, the presence of MZMs ensures that the steady state in…
We consider theoretically the physics of bulk topological superconductivity accompanied by boundary non-Abelian Majorana zero modes in semiconductor-superconductor (SM-SC) hybrid systems consisting of finite wires in the presence of…
