Gate-defined quantum dots are a promising candidate system to realize scalable, coupled qubit systems and serve as a fundamental building block for quantum computers.

We address an outstanding problem that represents a critical roadblock in the development of the Majorana-based topological qubit using semiconductor-superconductor hybrid structures: the quantitative characterization of disorder effects generated by the unintentional presence of charge impurities within the hybrid device.

Focusing specifically on the recently retracted Nature 2018 Zhang et al. work [Zhang et al., Nature (2021)] and the related recently available correctly analyzed data from this Delft experiment [Zhang et al., arXiv:2101. 11456 (2021)], we discuss the general problem of confirmation bias in experiments verifying various theoretical topological quantization predictions.

Using a realistic band structure for twisted WSe$_2 $ materials, we develop a theory for the interaction-driven correlated insulators to conducting metals transitions through the tuning of the filling factor around commensurate fractional fillings of the moir\'e unit cell in the 2D honeycomb lattice, focusing on the dominant half-filled Mott insulating state, which exists for both long- and short-range interactions.

We study the electronic structure of full-shell superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, which have recently been proposed for creating Majorana zero modes, using an eight-band $\vec{k} \cdot \vec{p}$ model within a fully self-consistent Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson scheme.

To date, the only such topological states thought to have been found in nature are fractional quantum Hall states, most prominently the \nu=5/2 state, although several other prospective candidates have been proposed in systems as disparate as ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices and thin film superconductors.
