The theory of symmetry indicators has enabled database searches for topological materials in normal conducting phases, which has led to several encyclopedic topological material databases. Here, based on recently developed symmetry indicators for superconductors, we report our comprehensive search for topological and nodal superconductors among nonmagnetic materials in Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. A myriad of topological superconductors with exotic boundary states are discovered. When materials are symmetry-enforced nodal superconductors, positions and shapes of the nodes are also identified. These data are aggregated at Database of Topological and Nodal Supercoductors. We also provide a subroutine Topological Supercon, which allows users to examine the topological nature in the superconducting phase of any material themselves by uploading the result of first-principles calculations as an input. Our database and subroutine, when combined with experiments, will help us understand the unconventional pairing mechanism and facilitate realizations of the long-sought Majorana fermions promising for topological quantum computations.
Searching for topological insulators/superconductors is one central subject in recent condensed matter physics. As a theoretical aspect, various classification methods of symmetry-protected topological phases have been developed, where the topology o
We establish quasi-two-dimensional thin films of iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) as a new high-temperature platform for hosting intrinsic time-reversal-invariant helical topological superconductivity (TSC). Based on the combination of Dirac surfac
We fabricate van der Waals heterostructure devices using few unit cell thick Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ for magnetotransport measurements. The superconducting transition temperature and carrier density in atomically thin samples can be maintai
Ultra low-loss microwave materials are crucial for enhancing quantum coherence and scalability of superconducting qubits. Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure is an attractive platform for quantum devices due to the single-crystal structure of the con
Motivated by the recent proposals for unconventional emergent physics in twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors, we study the peculiarities of the Josephson effect at the twisted interface between $d$-wave superconductors. We demonstrate that for
