(author), Krogstrup, Peter (author), Liu, Yu (author)We present a report on hybrid InSb-Pb nanowires that combine high spin-orbit coupling with a high critical field and a large superconducting gap. Material characterization indicates the Pb layer of high crystal quality on the nanowire side facets. Hard induced superconducting gaps and gate-tunable supercurrent are observed in the hybrid...journal article 2023

(author)Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such states can arise at the ends of a spinless p-wave superconducting chain<sup>1</sup>. Practical proposals for its realization<sup>2,3</sup> require coupling neighbouring...journal article 2023

(author)A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic cotunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio between CAR and ECT can be controlled. Metallic superconductors have so far been shown to mediate such tunneling phenomena, albeit...journal article 2023

Huang, Cai (author), Wang, Yilin (author), Zhang, Xudong (author), Seminario Thulin, Andres (author), van Driel, Iris (author), Liu, Danyan (author), Droge, Jean Pierre (author)The coastal landscape of South Florida faces many challenges connected to climate change and urbanization. Sea level rise, loss of ecosystems, land subsidence, aquifer depletion are some of the issues that need serious attention. Landscape Approach Florida is showcasing results of a Landscape Architecture Design Lab where seven MSc-graduates...report 2019
