3D Cuprate Twistronics as a platform for high temperature topological superconductivity

2D superconductors can be used to build ultra-clean interfaces for Josephson junctions, the superconducting analog of a transistor. A small twist in the relative crystal orientation of 2D superconductors could become a new platform for topological superconductivity, an exotic state of matter that holds great promise for quantum computing at high temperatures. Based on my methodological developments for the realization of twisted cuprate ultra-clean interfaces, the field is rapidly evolving, and these interfaces are now the leading candidate for the implementation of high-temperature topological superconductivity. However, the combination of well-controlled twisted cuprate heterostructures…
