Cross-Platform Autonomous Control of Minimal Kitaev Chains

David van Driel, Rouven Koch, Vincent P. M. Sietses +21

Contemporary quantum devices are reaching new limits in size and complexity, allowing for the experimental exploration of emergent quantum modes. However, this increased complexity…

A quantum dot in germanium proximitized by a superconductor

Lazar Lakic, William I. L. Lawrie, David van Driel +6

Planar germanium quantum wells have recently been shown to host hard-gapped superconductivity. Additionally, quantum dot spin qubits in germanium are well-suited for quantum inform…

Signatures of Majorana protection in a three-site Kitaev chain

Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir +14

Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in o…

Supercurrent through an Andreev trimer

Alberto Bordin, Florian J. Bennebroek Evertsz', Gorm O. Steffensen +8

Detection and control of Andreev Bound States (ABSs) localized at semiconductor-superconductor interfaces are essential for their use in quantum applications. Here we investigate t…

Robust poor man's Majorana zero modes using Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

Francesco Zatelli, David van Driel, Di Xu +14

The recent realization of a two-site Kitaev chain featuring "poor man's Majorana" states demonstrates a path forward in the field of topological superconductivity. Harnessing the p…

Gate-tunable Superconductivity in Hybrid InSb-Pb Nanowires

Yan Chen, David van Driel, Charalampos Lampadaris +7

We present a report on hybrid InSb-Pb nanowires that combine high spin-orbit coupling with a high critical field and a large superconducting gap. Material characterization indicate…

Kitaev chain in an alternating quantum dot-Andreev bound state array

Sebastian Miles, David van Driel, Michael Wimmer +1

We propose to implement a Kitaev chain based on an array of alternating normal and superconductor hybrid quantum dots embedded in semiconductors. In particular, the orbitals in the…

Spin-filtered measurements of Andreev bound states

David van Driel, Guanzhong Wang, Alberto Bordin +9

A semiconductor nanowire brought in proximity to a superconductor can form discrete, particle-hole symmetric states, known as Andreev bound states (ABSs). An ABS can be found in it…

Controlled crossed Andreev reflection and elastic co-tunneling mediated by Andreev bound states

Alberto Bordin, Guanzhong Wang, Chun-Xiao Liu +12

A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bo…

Electrostatic control of the proximity effect in the bulk of semiconductor-superconductor hybrids

N. van Loo, G. P. Mazur, T. Dvir +11

The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the sem…

Realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in coupled quantum dots

Tom Dvir, Guanzhong Wang, Nick van Loo +14

Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such states…

Supercurrent parity-meter in a nanowire Cooper-pair transistor

Ji-Yin Wang, Constantin Schrade, Vukan Levajac +13

We study a Cooper-pair transistor realized by two Josephson weak links that enclose a superconducting island in an InSb-Al hybrid nanowire. When the nanowire is subject to a magnet…
