However, how these cortical flows interact with adjacent cytoplasmic components, changing their form and localization, and how this affects cytoplasmic organization and cell shape remains unclear. Here we show that in ascidian oocytes, the cooperative activities of cortical actomyosin flows and deformation of the adjacent mitochondria-rich myoplasm drive oocyte cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes following fertilization. We show that vegetal-directed cortical actomyosin flows, established upon oocyte fertilization, lead to both the accumulation of cortical actin at the vegetal pole of the zygote and compression and local buckling of the adjacent elastic solid-like myoplasm layer due to friction forces generated at their interface. Once cortical flows have ceased, the multiple myoplasm buckles resolve into one larger buckle, which again drives the formation of the contraction pole—a protuberance of the zygote’s vegetal pole where maternal mRNAs accumulate. Thus, our findings reveal a mechanism where cortical actomyosin network flows determine cytoplasmic reorganization and cell shape by deforming adjacent cytoplasmic components through friction forces.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"epub_ahead","oa_version":"Published Version","day":"09","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"project":[{"call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"I03601","_id":"2646861A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Control of embryonic cleavage pattern"}],"citation":{"apa":"Caballero Mancebo, S., Shinde, R., Bolger-Munro, M., Peruzzo, M., Szep, G., Steccari, I., … Heisenberg, C.-P.

Superconducting electronics aims to complement semiconductor technology, while hybrid architectures are at the forefront of new ideas such as topological superconductivity and protected qubits. In this work, we engineer the induced superconductivity in two-dimensional germanium hole gas by varying the distance between the quantum well and the aluminum. We demonstrate a hard superconducting gap and realize an electrically and flux tunable superconducting diode using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). This allows to tune the current phase relation (CPR), to a regime where single Cooper pair tunneling is suppressed, creating a sin(2y) CPR. Shapiro experiments complement this interpretation and the microwave drive allows to create a diode with ≈ 100% efficiency. The reported results open up the path towards integration of spin qubit devices, microwave resonators and (protected) superconducting qubits on the same silicon technology compatible platform.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","day":"02","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"date_updated":"2026-02-26T11:39:00Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"status":"public","external_id":{"oaworkID":["w4390499170"],"pmid":["38167818"]},"file":[{"file_name":"2024_NatureComm_Valentini.pdf","file_size":2336595,"checksum":"ef79173b45eeaf984ffa61ef2f8a52ab","date_created":"2024-01-17T11:03:00Z","file_id":"14825","date_updated":"2024-01-17T11:03:00Z","success":1,"creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"title":"Parity-conserving Cooper-pair transport and ideal superconducting diode in planar germanium","publication":"Nature Communications","oaworkID":1,"project":[{"grant_number":"862046","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"237E5020-32DE-11EA-91FC-C7463DDC885E","name":"TOPOLOGICALLY PROTECTED AND SCALABLE QUANTUM BITS"},{"name":"Integrated GermaNIum quanTum tEchnology","_id":"34c0acea-11ca-11ed-8bc3-8775e10fd452","grant_number":"101069515"},{"grant_number":"101115315","_id":"bdc2ca30-d553-11ed-ba76-cf164a5bb811","name":"Quantum bits with Kitaev Transmons"},{"name":"Towards scalable hut wire quantum devices","_id":"237B3DA4-32DE-11EA-91FC-C7463DDC885E","grant_number":"P32235","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"name":"Merging spin and superconducting qubits in planar Ge","_id":"bd8bd29e-d553-11ed-ba76-f0070d4b237a","grant_number":"P36507"},{"_id":"34a66131-11ca-11ed-8bc3-a31681c6b03e","name":"Conventional and unconventional topological superconductors","grant_number":"F8606"}],"citation":{"ieee":"M.

However, this approach increases both the footprint and the parasitic cross-coupling and is ultimately limited by radiation losses—a potential roadblock for scaling up quantum processors to millions of qubits. In this work we present transmon qubits with sizes as low as 36 × 39 µm2 with 100-nm-wide vacuum-gap capacitors that are micromachined from commercial silicon-on-insulator wafers and shadow evaporated with aluminum. We achieve a vacuum participation ratio up to 99.6% in an in-plane design that is compatible with standard coplanar circuits. Qubit relaxationtime measurements for small gaps with high zero-point electric field variance of up to 22 V/m reveal a double exponential decay indicating comparably strong qubit interaction with long-lived two-level systems. The exceptionally high selectivity of up to 20 dB to the superconductor-vacuum interface allows us to precisely back out the sub-single-photon dielectric loss tangent of aluminum oxide previously exposed to ambient conditions. In terms of future scaling potential, we achieve a ratio of qubit quality factor to a footprint area equal to 20 µm−2, which is comparable with the highest T1 devices relying on larger geometries, a value that could improve substantially for lower surface-loss superconductors.

In this scenario, the implementation of lithium sulfide (Li2S) cathodes compatible with alternative anode materials such as silicon has the potential to alleviate the safety concerns associated with lithium metal. In this direction, here, we report a sulfur cathode based on Li2S nanocrystals grown on a catalytic host consisting of CoFeP nanoparticles supported on tubular carbon nitride. Nanosized Li2S is incorporated into the host by a scalable liquid infiltration–evaporation method. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the CoFeP–CN composite can boost the polysulfide adsorption/conversion reaction kinetics and strongly reduce the initial overpotential activation barrier by stretching the Li–S bonds of Li2S. Besides, the ultrasmall size of the Li2S particles in the Li2S–CoFeP–CN composite cathode facilitates the initial activation. Overall, the Li2S–CoFeP–CN electrodes exhibit a low activation barrier of 2.56 V, a high initial capacity of 991 mA h gLi2S–1, and outstanding cyclability with a small fading rate of 0.029% per cycle over 800 cycles. Moreover, Si/Li2S full cells are assembled using the nanostructured Li2S–CoFeP–CN cathode and a prelithiated anode based on graphite-supported silicon nanowires. These Si/Li2S cells demonstrate high initial discharge capacities above 900 mA h gLi2S–1 and good cyclability with a capacity fading rate of 0.28% per cycle over 150 cycles."}],"publication_status":"published","oa_version":"None","page":"58462–58475","day":"05","date_updated":"2024-01-02T08:35:06Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"status":"public"},{"article_number":"2998","date_created":"2023-06-04T22:01:02Z","department":[{"_id":"JoFi"}],"acknowledgement":"The authors thank W.D.

We call this - the quantum noise. Certain physical processes allow this quantum noise to get correlated in conjugate physical variables. These quantum correlations can be used to go beyond the potential of our inherently noisy universe and obtain a quantum advantage over the classical applications. \r\n\r\nQuantum noise being inherent also means that, at the fundamental level, the physical quantities are not well defined and therefore, objects can stay in multiple states at the same time. For example, the position of a particle not being well defined means that the particle is in multiple positions at the same time. About 4 decades ago, we started exploring the possibility of using objects which can be in multiple states at the same time to increase the dimensionality in computation. Thus, the field of quantum computing was born. We discovered that using quantum entanglement, a property closely related to quantum correlations, can be used to speed up computation of certain problems, such as factorisation of large numbers, faster than any known classical algorithm. Thus began the pursuit to make quantum computers a reality. \r\n\r\nTill date, we have explored quantum control over many physical systems including photons, spins, atoms, ions and even simple circuits made up of superconducting material. However, there persists one ubiquitous theme. The more readily a system interacts with an external field or matter, the more easily we can control it. But this also means that such a system can easily interact with a noisy environment and quickly lose its coherence. Consequently, such systems like electron spins need to be protected from the environment to ensure the longevity of their coherence. Other systems like nuclear spins are naturally protected as they do not interact easily with the environment. But, due to the same reason, it is harder to interact with such systems. \r\n\r\nAfter decades of experimentation with various systems, we are convinced that no one type of quantum system would be the best for all the quantum applications. We would need hybrid systems which are all interconnected - much like the current internet where all sorts of devices can all talk to each other - but now for quantum devices. A quantum internet. \r\n\r\nOptical photons are the best contenders to carry information for the quantum internet. They can carry quantum information cheaply and without much loss - the same reasons which has made them the backbone of our current internet. Following this direction, many systems, like trapped ions, have already demonstrated successful quantum links over a large distances using optical photons. However, some of the most promising contenders for quantum computing which are based on microwave frequencies have been left behind. This is because high energy optical photons can adversely affect fragile low-energy microwave systems. \r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we present substantial progress on this missing quantum link between microwave and optics using electrooptical nonlinearities in lithium niobate. The nonlinearities are enhanced by using resonant cavities for all the involved modes leading to observation of strong direct coupling between optical and microwave frequencies. With this strong coupling we are not only able to achieve almost 100\\% internal conversion efficiency with low added noise, thus presenting a quantum-enabled transducer, but also we are able to observe novel effects such as cooling of a microwave mode using optics. The strong coupling regime also leads to direct observation of dynamical backaction effect between microwave and optical frequencies which are studied in detail here. Finally, we also report first observation of microwave-optics entanglement in form of two-mode squeezed vacuum squeezed 0.7dB below vacuum level. \r\nWith this new bridge between microwave and optics, the microwave-based quantum technologies can finally be a part of a quantum network which is based on optical photons - putting us one step closer to a future with quantum internet.

The parabolic confinement provided by the inductive shunt as well as the linearity of the geometric superinductor facilitates a high-power readout that resolves quantum jumps with a fidelity and QND-ness of >90% and without the need for a Josephson parametric amplifier. Moreover, the device reveals quantum tunneling physics between the two prepared fluxon ground states with a measured average decay time of up to 3.5 h. In the future, fast time-domain control of the transition matrix elements could offer a new path forward to also achieve full qubit control in the decay-protected fluxon basis."}],"status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"date_updated":"2023-12-13T11:32:25Z"},{"doi":"10.1103/PhysRevApplied.19.064032","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2023","publisher":"American Physical Society","type":"journal_article","author":[{"full_name":"Phan, Duc T","first_name":"Duc T","id":"29C8C0B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Phan"},{"id":"85b43b21-15b2-11ec-abd3-e2c252cc2285","last_name":"Falthansl-Scheinecker","first_name":"Paul","full_name":"Falthansl-Scheinecker, Paul"},{"full_name":"Mishra, Umang","first_name":"Umang","id":"4328fa4c-f128-11eb-9611-c107b0fe4d51","last_name":"Mishra"},{"full_name":"Strickland, W.

This material combination leads to spatial variations of the superconducting properties, which gives rise to Andreev bound states (ABSs). Some of these states might exhibit remarkable properties that render them highly desirable for topological quantum computing. The most prominent and hunted of such states are Majorana zero modes (MZMs), quasiparticles equals to their own quasiparticles that they follow non-abelian statistics. In this thesis, we first introduce the general framework of such hybrid systems and, then, we unveil a series of mesoscopic phenomena that we discovered. Firstly, we show tunneling spectroscopy experiments on full-shell nanowires (NWs) showing that unwanted quantum-dot states coupled to superconductors (Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states) can mimic MZMs signatures. Then, we introduce a novel protocol which allowed the integration of tunneling spectroscopy with Coulomb spectroscopy within the same device. Employing this approach on both full-shell NWs and partial-shell NWs, we demonstrated that longitudinally confined states reveal charge transport phenomenology similar to the one expected for MZMs. These findings shed light on the intricate interplay between superconductivity and quantum confinement, which brought us to explore another material platform, i.e. a two-dimensional Germanium hole gas. After developing a robust way to induce superconductivity in such system, we showed how to engineer the proximity effect and we revealed a superconducting hard gap. Finally, we created a superconducting radio frequency driven ideal diode and a generator of non-sinusoidal current-phase relations. Our results open the path for the exploration of protected superconducting qubits and more complex hybrid devices in planar Germanium, like Kitaev chains and hybrid qubit devices.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"degree_awarded":"PhD","status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"date_updated":"2024-02-21T12:35:34Z","file":[{"file_name":"PhD_thesis_Valentini_final.zip","file_size":56121429,"file_id":"14033","checksum":"666ee31c7eade89679806287c062fa14","date_created":"2023-08-11T09:27:39Z","date_updated":"2023-08-11T10:01:34Z","creator":"mvalenti","access_level":"closed","relation":"source_file","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed"},{"file_name":"PhD_thesis_Valentini_final_validated.pdf","file_size":38199711,"checksum":"0992f2ebef152dee8e70055350ebbb55","date_created":"2023-08-11T14:39:17Z","file_id":"14035","date_updated":"2023-08-11T14:39:17Z","creator":"mvalenti","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file"}],"title":"Mesoscopic phenomena in hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanodevices : From full-shell nanowires to two-dimensional hole gas in germanium","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"13312","status":"public"},{"id":"12118","status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation"},{"status":"public","id":"8910","relation":"part_of_dissertation"},{"relation":"research_data","id":"12522","status":"public"}]},"has_accepted_license":"1","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"short":"M.

Here we report a study of the transport and microwave response of Josephson arrays with interactions exceeding this level. Contrary to expectations, we observe that the array resistance drops dramatically as the temperature is decreased—reminiscent of superconducting behaviour—and then saturates at low temperature. Applying a magnetic field, we eventually observe a transition to a highly resistive regime. These observations can be understood within a theoretical picture that accounts for the effect of thermal fluctuations on the insulating phase. On the basis of the agreement between experiment and theory, we suggest that apparent superconductivity in our Josephson arrays arises from melting the zero-temperature insulator.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"date_updated":"2024-01-29T11:27:49Z"},{"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-3-99078-028-2"],"issn":["2663-337X"]},"month":"04","supervisor":[{"full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria","first_name":"Maria","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Ibáñez"}],"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"MaIb"}],"date_created":"2023-05-02T07:58:57Z","file_date_updated":"2023-05-02T07:43:18Z","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","ddc":["546","541"],"article_processing_charge":"No","_id":"12885","oa":1,"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0003-4566-5877","last_name":"Calcabrini","id":"45D7531A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Calcabrini, Mariano","first_name":"Mariano"}],"date_published":"2023-04-28T00:00:00Z","year":"2023","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","doi":"10.15479/at:ista:12885","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"type":"dissertation","file":[{"checksum":"9347b0e09425f56fdcede5d3528404dc","date_created":"2023-05-02T07:43:18Z","file_id":"12887","date_updated":"2023-05-02T07:43:18Z","file_name":"Thesis_Calcabrini.docx","file_size":99627036,"access_level":"closed","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","relation":"source_file","creator":"mcalcabr"},{"file_name":"Thesis_Calcabrini_pdfa.pdf","file_size":8742220,"checksum":"2d188b76621086cd384f0b9264b0a576","date_created":"2023-05-02T07:42:45Z","file_id":"12888","success":1,"date_updated":"2023-05-02T07:42:45Z","creator":"mcalcabr","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file"}],"title":"Nanoparticle-based semiconductor solids: From synthesis to consolidation","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public","id":"10806"},{"status":"public","id":"10042","relation":"part_of_dissertation"},{"status":"public","id":"12237","relation":"part_of_dissertation"},{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public","id":"9118"},{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public","id":"10123"}]},"citation":{"ieee":"M.

However, the multiple processes from nanoparticle synthesis to the final bulk nanocomposites are very complex. They involve nanoparticle purification, post-synthetic modifications, and finally consolidation (thermal treatments and densification). All these properties dictate the final material’s composition and microstructure, ultimately affecting its functional properties.

We call this - the quantum noise. Certain physical processes allow this quantum noise to get correlated in conjugate physical variables. These quantum correlations can be used to go beyond the potential of our inherently noisy universe and obtain a quantum advantage over the classical applications. \r\n\r\nQuantum noise being inherent also means that, at the fundamental level, the physical quantities are not well defined and therefore, objects can stay in multiple states at the same time. For example, the position of a particle not being well defined means that the particle is in multiple positions at the same time. About 4 decades ago, we started exploring the possibility of using objects which can be in multiple states at the same time to increase the dimensionality in computation. Thus, the field of quantum computing was born. We discovered that using quantum entanglement, a property closely related to quantum correlations, can be used to speed up computation of certain problems, such as factorisation of large numbers, faster than any known classical algorithm. Thus began the pursuit to make quantum computers a reality. \r\n\r\nTill date, we have explored quantum control over many physical systems including photons, spins, atoms, ions and even simple circuits made up of superconducting material. However, there persists one ubiquitous theme. The more readily a system interacts with an external field or matter, the more easily we can control it. But this also means that such a system can easily interact with a noisy environment and quickly lose its coherence. Consequently, such systems like electron spins need to be protected from the environment to ensure the longevity of their coherence. Other systems like nuclear spins are naturally protected as they do not interact easily with the environment. But, due to the same reason, it is harder to interact with such systems. \r\n\r\nAfter decades of experimentation with various systems, we are convinced that no one type of quantum system would be the best for all the quantum applications. We would need hybrid systems which are all interconnected - much like the current internet where all sorts of devices can all talk to each other - but now for quantum devices. A quantum internet. \r\n\r\nOptical photons are the best contenders to carry information for the quantum internet. They can carry quantum information cheaply and without much loss - the same reasons which has made them the backbone of our current internet. Following this direction, many systems, like trapped ions, have already demonstrated successful quantum links over a large distances using optical photons. However, some of the most promising contenders for quantum computing which are based on microwave frequencies have been left behind. This is because high energy optical photons can adversely affect fragile low-energy microwave systems. \r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we present substantial progress on this missing quantum link between microwave and optics using electrooptical nonlinearities in lithium niobate. The nonlinearities are enhanced by using resonant cavities for all the involved modes leading to observation of strong direct coupling between optical and microwave frequencies. With this strong coupling we are not only able to achieve almost 100\\% internal conversion efficiency with low added noise, thus presenting a quantum-enabled transducer, but also we are able to observe novel effects such as cooling of a microwave mode using optics. The strong coupling regime also leads to direct observation of dynamical backaction effect between microwave and optical frequencies which are studied in detail here. Finally, we also report first observation of microwave-optics entanglement in form of two-mode squeezed vacuum squeezed 0.7dB below vacuum level. \r\nWith this new bridge between microwave and optics, the microwave-based quantum technologies can finally be a part of a quantum network which is based on optical photons - putting us one step closer to a future with quantum internet.

For holes it is particularly strong, allowing for fast all electrical qubit manipulation, and yet an in-depth understanding of this interaction in hole systems is missing. Here we investigate, experimentally and theoretically, the effect of the cubic Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the mixing of the spin states by studying singlet-triplet oscillations in a planar Ge hole double quantum dot. Landau-Zener sweeps at different magnetic field directions allow us to disentangle the effects of the spin-orbit induced spin-flip term from those caused by strongly site-dependent and anisotropic quantum dot g tensors.

One possibility is employing surfactant-free solution synthesis to produce nanopowders. We propose the strategy of functionalizing “naked” particles’ surface by inorganic molecules to control the nanostructure and, consequently, thermoelectric performance. In particular, we use bismuth thiolates to functionalize surfactant-free SnTe particles’ surfaces. Upon thermal processing, bismuth thiolates decomposition renders SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites with synergistic functions: 1) carrier concentration optimization by Bi doping; 2) Seebeck coefficient enhancement and bipolar effect suppression by energy filtering; and 3) lattice thermal conductivity reduction by small grain domains, grain boundaries and nanostructuration. Overall, the SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites exhibit peak z T up to 1.3 at 873 K and an average z T of ≈0.6 at 300–873 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed SnTe."}],"ec_funded":1,"date_updated":"2023-08-03T12:23:52Z","status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"month":"08","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1433-7851"],"eissn":["1521-3773"]},"quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"article_type":"original","volume":61,"date_created":"2022-07-31T22:01:48Z","article_number":"e202207002","department":[{"_id":"MaIb"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"acknowledgement":"This research was supported by the Scientific Service Units (SSU) of IST Austria through resources provided by Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF) and the Nanofabrication Facility (NNF).

Here we present a strategy using finite-element method (FEM) simulations to determine the Green's function of the KPFM probe/insulator/ground system, which allows us to quantitatively extract surface charge. Testing our approach with synthetic data, we find that accounting for the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, cone, and cantilever is necessary to recover a known input and that existing methods lead to gross miscalculation or even the incorrect sign of the underlying charge. Applying it to experimental data, we demonstrate its capacity to extract realistic surface charge densities and fine details from contact-charged surfaces. Our method gives a straightforward recipe to convert qualitative KPFM voltage data into quantitative charge data over a range of experimental conditions, enabling quantitative CE at the nanoscale.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","publication_status":"published","day":"29","date_updated":"2023-08-03T14:11:29Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"status":"public","main_file_link":[{"url":" https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2209.01889","open_access":"1"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2209.01889"],"isi":["000908384800001"]},"title":"Quantifying nanoscale charge density features of contact-charged surfaces with an FEM/KPFM-hybrid approach","publication":"Physical Review Materials","project":[{"grant_number":"949120","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Tribocharge: a multi-scale approach to an enduring problem in physics","_id":"0aa60e99-070f-11eb-9043-a6de6bdc3afa"}],"citation":{"ieee":"F.

However, multiple claims of Majorana detection, based on either tunnelling6,7,8,9,10 or Coulomb blockade (CB) spectroscopy11,12, remain disputed. Here we devise an experimental protocol that allows us to perform both types of measurement on the same hybrid island by adjusting its charging energy via tunable junctions to the normal leads. This method reduces ambiguities of Majorana detections by checking the consistency between CB spectroscopy and zero-bias peaks in non-blockaded transport. Specifically, we observe junction-dependent, even–odd modulated, single-electron CB peaks in InAs/Al hybrid nanowires without concomitant low-bias peaks in tunnelling spectroscopy. We provide a theoretical interpretation of the experimental observations in terms of low-energy, longitudinally confined island states rather than overlapping Majorana modes. Our results highlight the importance of combined measurements on the same device for the identification of topological Majorana zero modes.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2024-02-21T12:35:33Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"status":"public"}]
