SPICE Workshop on Quantum Matter for Quantum Technologies, May 21st - May 23rd 2024
Srijit Goswami
In the past decade superconductor-semiconductor hybrids have been studied intensively, with significant efforts towards studying Majorana zero modes (MZMs). In this talk I will discuss a relatively new approach to realize MZMs using quantum dot-superconductor hybrids in the form of artificial Kitaev chains. I will focus on how MZMs can be systematically and reliably engineered in a two-dimensional electron gas by tuning the relative strengths of the different kinds of interactions between the quantum dots.
