Fusion of Majorana Bound States with Mini-Gate Control in Two-Dimensional Systems

Here we propose how to overcome this obstacle in mini-gate controlled planar Josephson junctions (JJs) and demonstrate non-Abelian statistics through MBS fusion, detected by charge sensing using a quantum point contact, based on dynamical simulations. Nat. Commun. (2022).

Quantum Spin-Valley Hall Kink States: From Concept to Materials Design

We propose a general and tunable platform to realize high-density arrays of quantum spin-valley Hall kink (QSVHK) states with spin-valley-momentum locking based on a two-dimensional hexagonal topological insulator. Phys. Rev. Lett. (2021).

Phase Control of Majorana Bound States in a Topological X Junction

We propose a MBS platform of 𝖷-shaped Josephson junctions. This versatile implementation reveals how external flux control of the superconducting phase difference can generate and manipulate multiple MBS pairs to probe non-Abelian statistics. Phys. Rev. Lett. (2020).
