Conductance Quantization in PbTe Nanowires
Wenyu Song, Yuhao Wang, Wentao Miao +17
PbTe nanowires coupled to a superconductor have recently been proposed as a potential Majorana platform. The hallmark of the one-dimensional nature of ballistic nanowires is their…
Influence of topological degeneracy on the boundary Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum phase transition of a dissipative resonant level
Gu Zhang, Zhan Cao, Dong E. Liu
The interplay between a topological degeneracy and the residue degeneracy (also known as the residue entropy) of quantum criticality remains as an important but not thoroughly unde…
Meissner effect induced Majorana zero modes at small magnetic field
Xiao-Hong Pan, Li Chen, Dong E. Liu +2
One fundamental difficulty in realizing Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is the required high magnetic field, which causes serious issues, e.g., shrinks the superconducting gap, reduces…
Differential current noise as an identifier of Andreev bound states that induce nearly quantized conductance plateaus
Zhan Cao, Gu Zhang, Hao Zhang +4
Quantized conductance plateaus, a celebrated hallmark of Majorana bound states (MBSs) predicted a decade ago, have recently been observed with small deviations in iron-based superc…
Recent progress on Majorana in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures--Engineering and detection
Zhan Cao, Shumeng Chen, Gu Zhang +1
Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are exotic excitations (in condensed matter systems) that have potential applications in topological quantum computation. Though MZMs have been predicted…
Probing electron-hole weights of an Andreev bound state by transient currents
Zhan Cao, Gu Zhang, Hao Zhang +4
Andreev bound states (ABSs) are localized quantum states that contain both electron and hole components. They ubiquitously reside in inhomogeneous superconducting systems. Followin…
