This research proposes using altermagnetism in materials like EuIn₂As₂ to engineer topological superconductivity, a critical step toward stabilizing Majorana zero modes for fault-tolerant quantum computing. By leveraging crystal-facet-dependent anisotropy, the study offers a novel pathway to manipulate quasi-1D nanowires and transition between different topological phases without relying on conventional methods. The work advances the theoretical framework for realizing robust quantum bits through specific material structures rather than just external control parameters.

Altermagnetism creates unique surfaces for quantum computing

Quantum ZeitgeistAugust 27, 20265 min read

Researchers propose a path to topological superconductivity using altermagnetism in materials like EuIn₂As₂, potentially advancing quantum computing.

Researchers at Great Bay University and the University of Würzburg detail a path toward topological superconductivity by combining altermagnetism with a unique material structure. Their work describes how altermagnetic order in a topological insulator, potentially realized in the compound EuIn₂As₂, when paired with superconductivity, creates highly anisotropic superconducting properties and crystal-facet-dependent Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. These surfaces offer distinct platforms to realize Majorana zero modes, crucial components not only at boundaries or vortex lines within the superconducting material. This approach utilizes altermagnetism-induced Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces to engineer topological superconductivity through crystal anisotropy and quantum confinement. EuIn₂As₂ emerges as a promising candidate material for realizing…
