The interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism in the superconductor/
ferromagnet (SC/FM) heterostructures generates many interesting physical phenomena …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

The possibility of engineering artificial Kitaev chains in arrays of quantum dots coupled via
narrow superconducting regions has emerged as an attractive way to overcome the disorder …

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

In a recent breakthrough experiment [Nature (London) 614, 445 (2023) 10.1038/s41586-022-
05585-1], signatures of Majorana zero modes have been observed in tunnel spectroscopy …

Planar Josephson junctions are predicted to host Majorana zero modes. The material
platforms in previous studies are two-dimensional electron gases (InAs, InSb, InAsSb, and …

The possibility to engineer artificial Kitaev chains in arrays of quantum dots coupled via
narrow superconducting regions has emerged as an attractive way to overcome the disorder …

The aim of this Tutorial is to give a pedagogical introduction into realizations of Majorana
fermions, usually termed as Majorana bound states (MBSs), in condensed matter systems …

The critical current response to an applied out-of-plane magnetic field in a Josephson
junction provides insight into the uniformity of its current distribution. In Josephson junctions …

Planar Josephson junctions provide a platform to host topological superconductivity, which,
through manipulating Majorana bound states (MBS), could enable fault-tolerant quantum …
