Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

The 1937 theoretical discovery of Majorana fermions—whose defining property is that they
are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

We present measurements and simulations of semiconductor-superconductor
heterostructure devices that are consistent with the observation of topological …

Second-order topological insulators are crystalline insulators with a gapped bulk and
gapped crystalline boundaries, but with topologically protected gapless states at the …

This short review paper provides a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly growing research
field of Majorana fermions in topological superconductors. We first discuss in some detail the …

Majorana bound states are quasiparticle excitations localized at the boundaries of a
topologically nontrivial superconductor. They are zero-energy, charge-neutral, particle–hole …

The theory of random matrices originated half a century ago as a universal description of the
spectral statistics of atoms and nuclei, dependent only on the presence or absence of …

There exists a variety of proposals to transform a conventional s-wave superconductor into a
topological superconductor, supporting Majorana fermion midgap states. A necessary …

The chiral AIII symmetry class in the classification table of topological insulators contains
topological phases classified by a winding number ν for each odd space dimension. An …

We develop a theory for the three-terminal nonlocal conductance in Majorana nanowires as
existing in the superconductor-semiconductor hybrid structures in the presence of …
