We present a novel device concept that utilizes the fascinating transition regime between quantum mechanics and classical physics. The devices operate by using a small number of individual quantum mechanical collapse events to interrupt the unitary evolution of quantum states represented by wave packets. Exceeding the constraints of the unitary evolution of quantum mechanics given by the Schroedinger equation and of classical Hamiltonian physics, these devices display a surprising behavior.

Among the major approaches that are being pursued for realizing quantum bits, the Majorana-based platform has been the most recent to be launched. It attempts to realize qubits which store quantum information in a topologically-protected manner. The
quantum information is protected by its nonlocal storage in localized and well-separated Majorana zero modes, and manipulated by exploiting their nonabelian quantum exchange properties. Realizing these topological qubits is experimentally challenging, requiring superconductivity, helical electrons (created by spin-orbit coupling) and breaking of time reversal symmetry to all cooperate in an uncomfortable alliance. Over the past decade, several candidate material systems for realizing Majorana-based topological qubits have been explored, and there is accumulating, though still debated, evidence that zero modes are indeed being realized. This paper reviews the basic physical principles on which these approaches are based, the material systems that are being developed, and the current state of the field. We highlight both the progress made and the challenges that still need to be overcome.
The search for artificial topological superconductivity has been limited by the stringent conditions required for its emergence. As exemplified by the recent discoveries of various correlated electronic states in twisted van der Waals materials, moir
e patterns can act as a powerful knob to create artificial electronic structures. Here we demonstrate that a moire pattern between a van der Waals superconductor and a monolayer ferromagnet creates a periodic potential modulation that enables the realization of a topological superconducting state that would not be accessible in the absence of the moire. We show that the existence of a magnetic moire pattern gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov minibands and periodic modulation of the Majorana edge modes that we detect using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Our results put forward moire patterns as a powerful tool to overcome conventional constrains for topological superconductivity in van der Waals heterostructures. In a broader picture, periodic potential modulation provides a general way of controlling topological superconductivity towards the realisation of topological qubits in the future.
We propose a way of making graphene superconductive by putting on it small superconductive islands which cover a tiny fraction of graphene area. We show that the critical temperature, T_c, can reach several Kelvins at the experimentally accessible ra
nge of parameters. At low temperatures, T<<T_c, and zero magnetic field, the density of states is characterized by a small gap E_g<T_c resulting from the collective proximity effect. Transverse magnetic field H_g(T) E_g is expected to destroy the spectral gap driving graphene layer to a kind of a superconductive glass state. Melting of the glass state into a metal occurs at a higher field H_{g2}(T).
Single molecule transistors (SMTs) are currently attracting enormous attention as possible quantum information processing devices. An intrinsic limitation to the prospects of these however is associated to the presence of a small number of quantized
conductance channels, each channel having a high access resistance of at best $R_{K}/2=h/2e^{2}$=12.9 k$Omega$. When the contacting leads become superconducting, these correlations can extend throughout the whole system by the proximity effect. This not only lifts the resistive limitation of normal state contacts, but further paves a new way to probe electron transport through a single molecule. In this work, we demonstrate the realization of superconducting SMTs involving a single C60 fullerene molecule. The last few years have seen gate-controlled Josephson supercurrents induced in the family of low dimensional carbon structures such as flakes of two-dimensional graphene and portions of one-dimensional carbon nanotubes. The present study involving a full zero-dimensionnal fullerene completes the picture.
We study theoretically a chain of precessing classical magnetic impurities in an $s$-wave superconductor. Utilizing a rotating wave description, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that describes the emergent Shiba band. We find that this Hamiltonian
shows non-trivial topological properties, and we obtain the corresponding topological phase diagrams both numerically and analytically. We show that changing the precession frequency offers a control over topological phase transitions and the emergence of Majorana bound states. We propose driving the magnetic impurities or magnetic texture into precession by means of spin-transfer torque in a spin-Hall setup, and manipulate it using spin superfluidity in the case of planar magnetic order.
