Journal ArticleDOI
Majorana Fermions and a Topological Phase Transition in Semiconductor-Superconductor Heterostructures
TL;DR: The measurement of the supercurrent through the junction allows one to discern topologically distinct phases and observe a topological phase transition by simply changing the in-plane magnetic field or the gate voltage, which will be a direct demonstration of the existence of Majorana particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generic new platform for topological quantum computation using semiconductor heterostructures.
TL;DR: The heterostructure proposed is a semiconducting thin film sandwiched between an s-wave superconductor and a magnetic insulator which can be used as the platform for topological quantum computation by virtue of the existence of non-Abelian Majorana fermions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-Abelian quantum order in spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors: Search for topological Majorana particles in solid-state systems
Jay D. Sau,Sumanta Tewari,Sumanta Tewari,Roman M. Lutchyn,Tudor D. Stanescu,Tudor D. Stanescu,S. Das Sarma +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that an ordinary semiconducting thin film with spin-orbit coupling can, under appropriate circumstances, be in a quantum topologically ordered state supporting exotic Majorana excitations which follow non-Abelian statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Andreev bound states versus Majorana bound states in quantum dot-nanowire-superconductor hybrid structures: Trivial versus topological zero-bias conductance peaks
TL;DR: In this paper, Deng et al. considered the interplay between Andreev and Majorana bound states in disorder-free quantum dot-nanowire semiconductor systems with proximity-induced superconductivity in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman spin splitting (induced by an external magnetic field).
Journal ArticleDOI
Splitting of the zero-bias conductance peak as smoking gun evidence for the existence of the Majorana mode in a superconductor-semiconductor nanowire
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the splitting has an oscillatory dependence on the Zeeman field (chemical potential) at fixed chemical potential (Zeeman field), and that when the density is constant rather than the chemical potential, the splitting oscillations are generically suppressed.
