Majorana fermions and a topological phase transition in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures.
TLDR
The measurement of the supercurrent through the junction allows one to discern topologically distinct phases and observe a topological phase transition by simply changing the in-plane magnetic field or the gate voltage, which will be a direct demonstration of the existence of Majorana particles.

Generic new platform for topological quantum computation using semiconductor heterostructures.
TLDR
The heterostructure proposed is a semiconducting thin film sandwiched between an s-wave superconductor and a magnetic insulator which can be used as the platform for topological quantum computation by virtue of the existence of non-Abelian Majorana fermions.

Splitting of the zero-bias conductance peak as smoking gun evidence for the existence of the Majorana mode in a superconductor-semiconductor nanowire
Recent observations of a zero bias conductance peak in tunneling transport measurements in superconductor--semiconductor nanowire devices provide evidence for the predicted zero--energy Majorana…

Non-Abelian quantum order in spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors: Search for topological Majorana particles in solid-state systems
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…

Robustness of Majorana fermions in proximity-induced superconductors
In two-dimensional chiral $p$-wave superconductors, the zero-energy Majorana fermion excitations trapped at vortex cores are protected from the thermal effects by the minigap,…

Electronic energy levels of weakly coupled nanostructures: C60-metal interfaces.
TLDR
A new approach based on density functional theory and the Anderson impurity model is developed to calculate charging energies and quasiparticle energy gaps of molecular systems weakly coupled to an environment, resulting in electronic structures that are in excellent agreement with recent experiments.

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…

Andreev bound states versus Majorana bound states in quantum dot-nanowire-superconductor hybrid structures: Trivial versus topological zero-bias conductance peaks
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…
