New publication in Nature “Majorana-like Coulomb spectroscopy in the absence of zero-bias peaks “

 

Majoranas are theoretical particles of great interest, as they are anticipated to show different exotic properties, including their applications in quantum computing. However, the jury is still out on whether these particles have been detected experimentally or not. In our collaborationwith scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), we have discovered Majorana imposters by applying two measurement techniques, which will help to reduce interpretation uncertainties in the future search for these elusive particles. Our findings, based on new theoretical and experimental investigations, are published in Nature
