Research

I work on electronic transport in hybrid semiconducting-superconducting quantum devices. The aim of the PhD is to investigate the existence of topological phases in semiconducting nanowires with strong spin-orbit interaction coupled to a conventional superconductor.

These exotic quasiparticle excitations, also know as Majorana bound states, have been proposed as building blocks of fault-tolerant topological quantum computing.
