Topological Superconductors

Topological Superconductors is a theoretical class of superconducting materials characterized by a bulk superconducting gap and protected gapless boundary states that arise due to nontrivial topological invariants in their electronic structure, distinguishing them from conventional superconductors by hosting Majorana zero modes at defects or edges.
