We show that an ordinary semiconducting thin film with spin-orbit coupling can, under ap- propriate circumstances, be in a quantum topologically ordered state supporting exotic Majorana excitations…
Controlling non-Abelian statistics of Majorana fermions in semiconductor nanowires
Under appropriate external conditions a semiconductor nanowire in proximity to an s-wave superconductor can be in a topological superconducting (TS) phase. This phase supports localized zero-energy…

Probability and braiding statistics in Majorana nanowires
Given recent progress in the realization of Majorana zero modes in semiconducting nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity, a crucial next step is to attempt an experimental demonstration…

Motivated by an important recent experiment [Deng , Science 354, 1557 (2016)SCIEAS0036-807510.1126/science.aaf3961], we theoretically consider the interplay between Andreev and Majorana bound states…
