Topological superconductivity is an exotic phase of matter in which the fully gapped superconducting bulk hosts gapless Majorana surface states protected by topology. Intercalation of copper, strontium, or niobium between the quintuple layers of the topological insulator ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$ increases the carrier density and leads to superconductivity that is suggested to …
