Phase Signature of Topological Transition in Josephson Junctions

Phase Signature of Topological Transition in Josephson Junctions

Topological superconductivity holds promise for fault-tolerant quantum computing. While planar Josephson junctions are attractive candidates to realize this exotic state, direct phase-measurements as the fingerprint of the topological transition are missing. By embedding two gate-tunable Al/InAs Josephson junctions in a loop geometry, we measure a $\pi$-jump in the junction phase …
