Topological superconductivity in nanowires proximate to a diffusive superconductor-magnetic insulator bilayer
Aleksei Khindanov, Jason Alicea, Patrick Lee +2
We study semiconductor nanowires coupled to a bilayer of a disordered superconductor and a magnetic insulator, motivated by recent experiments reporting possible Majorana-zero-mode…
Quasiparticle poisoning of Majorana qubits
Torsten Karzig, William S. Cole, Dmitry I. Pikulin
Qubits based on Majorana zero modes are a promising path towards topological quantum computing. Such qubits, though, are susceptible to quasiparticle poisoning which does not have…
Higher Order Topology and Nodal Topological Superconductivity in Fe(Se,Te) Heterostructures
Rui-Xing Zhang, William S. Cole, Xianxin Wu +1
We show theoretically that a heterostructure of monolayer FeTeSe - a superconducting quantum spin Hall material - with a monolayer of FeTe - a bicollinear antiferromagn…
Generic quantized zero-bias conductance peaks in superconductor-semiconductor hybrid structures
Haining Pan, William S. Cole, Jay D. Sau +1
We show theoretically that quantized zero-bias conductance peaks should be ubiquitous in superconductor-semiconductor hybrids by employing a zero-dimensional random matrix model wi…
Inversion-protected higher order topological superconductivity in monolayer WTe
Yi-Ting Hsu, William S. Cole, Rui-Xing Zhang +1
Monolayer WTe, a centrosymmetric transition metal dichacogenide, has recently been established as a quantum spin Hall insulator and found superconducting upon gating. Here we s…
Helical Hinge Majoranas in Iron-Based Superconductors
Rui-Xing Zhang, William S. Cole, S. Das Sarma
Motivated by recent experiments on FeTeSe, we construct an explicit minimal model of an iron-based superconductor with band inversion at the point and non-topolog…
