Description
Harim Jang and co-workers showed in 2026 that Majorana zero-energy modes survive mess in atomic iron chains on a superconducting surface alloy. These exotic modes promise fault-proof quantum machines, yet mess clouds their spotting in nanowire devices, while magnet-superconductor chains were foretold robust without experimental proof.
Scanning imaging found tiny-scale mess in the alloy, yet zero-energy modes still appeared at both chain ends, matching math that place them only in the shape-based regime. The paper strengthens the case for atomic chains as a platform for Majorana qubits in future devices.
