摘要:

马约拉纳零模是局域在拓扑超导体边界上的准粒子态,有望成为容错量子计算的理想构建块。在临界磁场以上的隧穿光谱中测量的零偏压电导峰的几个观测结果已经被报道为超导体/半导体纳米线中的Majorana零模式的实验指示。另一方面,二维系统提供了另一种方法来限制平面约瑟夫森结内的马乔拉纳通道,其中超导引线之间的相位差Δ表示预测在较低磁场下驱动系统进入拓扑相位的附加调谐旋钮。在这里,我们报告的相位相关的零偏置电导峰的观察隧道光谱测量的约瑟夫森结上实现的InAs/Al异质结的结束。将结偏置到π ~ π显著降低了临界场,在该临界场处,相对于π = 0,出现零偏置峰值。的相位和磁场的依赖性的零能量状态是一致的马约拉纳零模式在有限尺寸的约瑟夫森结的模型。除了提供相位调谐拓扑超导性的实验证据外,我们的器件与超导量子电动力学架构兼容,并可扩展到拓扑量子计算所需的复杂几何形状。

英文摘要:

Majorana zero modes are quasiparticle states localized at the boundaries of topological superconductors that are expected to be ideal building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Several observations of zero-bias conductance peaks measured in tunneling spectroscopy above a critical magnetic field have been reported as experimental indications of Majorana zero modes in superconductor/semiconductor nanowires. On the other hand, two dimensional systems offer the alternative approach to confine Ma jorana channels within planar Josephson junctions, in which the phase difference ϕ between the superconducting leads represents an additional tuning knob predicted to drive the system into the topological phase at lower magnetic fields. Here, we report the observation of phase-dependent zero-bias conductance peaks measured by tunneling spectroscopy at the end of Josephson junctions realized on a InAs/Al heterostructure. Biasing the junction to ϕ ~ π significantly reduces the critical field at which the zero-bias peak appears, with respect to ϕ = 0. The phase and magnetic field dependence of the zero-energy states is consistent with a model of Majorana zero modes in finite-size Josephson junctions. Besides providing experimental evidence of phase-tuned topological superconductivity, our devices are compatible with superconducting quantum electrodynamics architectures and scalable to complex geometries needed for topological quantum computing.
