A demonstration that certain electron-transport processes can be tuned in a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor system could be useful for developing quantum computers.

Researchers and engineers from QuTech and Eindhoven University of Technology have created Majorana particles and measured their properties with great control.

Researchers report the measurement of a “poor man’s” Majorana—a nontopological version of the Majorana fermion—a finding that they hope will reinvigorate the Majorana field.
