GENEVA — Critical currents flicker under flux, skewed like bayonets in frozen mud. Simulations reveal phantom peaks at the junction: signatures of Majorana zero modes emerging from the quantum fog. Low transparency reveals fins in the data.
GENEVA, 15 JANUARY — Critical currents waver beneath threading flux, their rhythm distorted by the Little-Parks effect—superconducting vortices tightening like nooses around full-shell nanowires. In the simulation trench, CdGM analogs carve skewed lobes into the I-V landscape, their electron-hole rivalry etching dips and steps into the conductance. At low transparency, fin-shaped peaks rise—ghostly signatures of Majorana zero modes at the junction’s heart. These are not mere resonances; they are whispers of protected states, poised to revolutionize quantum computing. But the signal drowns in trivial-phase noise. If experimentalists cannot isolate the topological signature, the path to fault-tolerant qubits will remain buried in ambiguity. The phase is shifting. The measurement window narrows.
