Study of Josephson trijunction constructed on Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> surface

ORAL

Abstract

In 2008, Fu and Kane proposed that Josephson trijunctions constructed on the surface of topological insulators could host Majorana zero modes [1]. Such trijunctions could potentially serve as the basic components in a two-dimensional platform for realizing universal topological quantum computing [2]. In this talk, we will present the results of experimental investigations on trijunctions constructed on the surface of Bi2Te3. And we will compare the experimental results with Fu and Kane’s theory as well as with the results of numerical simulations based on a lattice model.
