1D Majorana Goldstinos and partial supersymmetry breaking in quantum wires

Abstract

Majorana modes realised in topological superconductors are expected to be an important feature for quantum information processing applications. Here, the authors propose an experimental approach to achieve N = 4 supersymmetry in a proximitised semiconducting nanowire and, by spontaneous breaking of the supersymmetry, realise 1D helical Majorana modes as Goldstinos.
