Topological Superconductivity in Graphene

In recent years, a considerable stream of work from the condensed matter community has been focusing on hybrid systems coupling superconductors to various topological states of matter. Such a heterogeneous coupling is pivotal in enabling the emergence of new excitations –the Majorana or parafermion— that could be used as quantum bits (qubits) with unique properties of non-locality and immunity to external perturbations, essential to encode and manipulate quantum information in a robust and stable fashion. Nevertheless, topological insulators that can be efficiently hybridized with superconductors and enable reliable coherent manipulation are still missing. This project aims at demonstrating…
