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…

Magnetic texture modulated superconductivity in superconductor/ferromagnet shells of semiconductor nanowires

Nabhanila Nandi, Juan Carlos Estrada Saldaña, Alexandros Vekris +11

In a one-dimensional ferromagnet-superconductor nanowire, magnetism can suppress superconductivity except where the Zeeman field is suppressed, for example domain wall superconduct…

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…

Richardson model with complex level structure and spin-orbit coupling for hybrid superconducting islands: stepwise suppression of pairing and magnetic pinning

Juan Carlos Estrada Saldaña, Luka Pavešič, Alexandros Vekris +3

An epitaxial semiconductor-superconductor nanowire is a superconducting system with a complex level structure originating from hybridization: in addition to a dense set of higher-e…

Entanglement between quasiparticles in superconducting islands mediated by a single spin

Juan Carlos Estrada Saldaña, Alexandros Vekris, Luka Pavešič +3

Condensed matter is composed of a small set of identical units, yet it shows an immense range of behaviour. Recently, an array of cold atoms was used to generate long-range quantum…

Josephson junctions in double nanowires bridged by in-situ deposited superconductors

Alexandros Vekris, Juan Carlos Estrada Saldaña, Thomas Kanne +9

We characterize parallel double quantum dot Josephson junctions based on closely-grown double nanowires bridged by in-situ deposited superconductors. The parallel double dot behavi…

Supercurrent in a double quantum dot

J. C. Estrada Saldaña, A. Vekris, G. Steffensen +5

We demonstrate the Josephson effect in a serial double quantum dot defined in a nanowire with epitaxial superconducting leads. The supercurrent stability diagram adopts a honeycomb…
