TL;DR: A technique for generic bottom-up synthesis of complex quantum devices with a special focus on nanowire networks with a predefined number of superconducting islands is demonstrated, opening up new avenues for the realization of epitaxial three-dimensional quantum architectures which have the potential to become key components of various quantum devices.

TL;DR: These experiments establish InAs/GaSb as a promising platform for the confinement of Majoranas into localized states, enabling future investigations of non-Abelian statistics and gate-tuning between edge-dominated and bulk-dominated regimes of superconducting transport.

TL;DR: The structural and chemical analyses demonstrate a high-quality interface between the nanowire and a NbTiN superconductor that enables ballistic transport and pave the way for disorder-free Majorana devices.

TL;DR: Direct in vivo imaging of hyperpolarized silicon nuclei in silicon particles by magnetic resonance imaging is reported, demonstrating a new background-free imaging modality applicable to a range of inexpensive, readily available and biocompatible silicon particles.

TL;DR: This study systematically studied how the interface between an InSb semiconductor nanowire and a NbTiN superconductor affects the induced superconducting properties and provides a guideline to induce superconductivity in various experimental platforms such as semiconductor Nanowires, two-dimensional electron gases, and topological insulators.
