Interaction effects in superconductor/quantum spin Hall devices: universal transport signatures and fractional Coulomb blockade

David Aasen, Shu-Ping Lee, Torsten Karzig +1

Interfacing s-wave superconductors and quantum spin Hall edges produces time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity of a type that can not arise in strictly 1D systems. W…
