Abstract

The search for topological superconductors---superconductors where the bulk accommodates only electron pairs while the surface also allows for motion of single electrons---largely relies on tweaking environmental knobs to create the desired characteristics. A proposed experimental setup uses the phase difference between two superconductors to create a topological phase.
