Direct Visualization of Topological Superconduting States in the GHz Regime
Abstract
Devices based on topological materials could revolutionize quantum computing by storing information robustly in braided electronic states. Although great strides have been made on few-qubit entanglement, scalability has been hampered by environmental perturbations that introduce errors. This has prompted interest in fundamentally new schemes based on topological quantum computers, whose operation requires manipulation of Majorana modes, which are governed by non-abelian statistics and predicted to exist in topological superconductors.The proposed work will address these questions through investigation of induced superconductivity at the interface between a topological insulator and a superconductor.
