20 Second Parity Lifetime in an InAs--Pb Tetron Device

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Mariusz Andrzejczuk +162

A central promise of topological quantum computing is that increasing the excitation gap improves device performance significantly. Here, we experimentally validate this principle…

Distinct Lifetimes for and Loop Measurements in a Majorana Tetron Device

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Rikke Andersen +164

We present a hardware realization and measurements of a tetron qubit device in a superconductor-semiconductor heterostructure. The device architecture contains two parallel superco…

Response to recent comments on Phys. Rev. B 107, 245423 (2023) and Subsection S4.3 of the Supp. Info. for Nature 638, 651-655 (2025)

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Mariusz Andrzejczuk +127

The topological gap protocol (TGP) is a statistical test designed to identify a topological phase with high confidence and without human bias. It is used to determine a promising p…

Roadmap to fault tolerant quantum computation using topological qubit arrays

David Aasen, Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam +179

We describe a concrete device roadmap towards a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on noise-resilient, topologically protected Majorana-based qubits. Our roadmap e…

Interferometric Single-Shot Parity Measurement in an InAs-Al Hybrid Device

Morteza Aghaee, Alejandro Alcaraz Ramirez, Zulfi Alam +159

The fusion of non-Abelian anyons or topological defects is a fundamental operation in measurement-only topological quantum computation. In topological superconductors, this operati…

Flux-induced topological superconductivity in full-shell nanowires

S. Vaitiekėnas, G. W. Winkler, B. van Heck +8

We present a novel route to realizing topological superconductivity using magnetic flux applied to a full superconducting shell surrounding a semiconducting nanowire core. In the d…

Topological superconductivity in full shell proximitized nanowires

Roman M. Lutchyn, Georg W. Winkler, Bernard van Heck +4

We consider a new model system supporting Majorana zero modes based on semiconductor nanowires with a full superconducting shell. We demonstrate that, in the presence of spin-orbit…

Tuning spin orbit interaction in high quality gate-defined InAs one-dimensional channels

J. Shabani, Younghyun Kim, A. P. McFadden +3

Spin-orbit coupling in solids describes an interaction between an electron's spin, an internal quantum-mechanical degree of freedom, with its linear momentum, an external property.…
