– Coupling ZII‑364 edge states to superconducting resonators may enable Majorana bound state formation, a cornerstone of topological quantum computing. Collaborative work between IAM and the National Quantum Initiative is already pursuing proximity‑induced superconductivity in ZII‑364 nanoribbons.
Addressing these obstacles will be essential for translating ZII‑364 from a scientific curiosity into a technology enabler. zii364
– The next milestone is a room‑temperature, topological field‑effect transistor (TFET) that leverages gate‑tunable edge conductance. Prototype devices fabricated on flexible substrates have shown on/off ratios exceeding 10⁴ at 300 K, a promising sign for wearable electronics. – The next milestone is a room‑temperature, topological
– Controlled biaxial strain (≈ 4 %) is predicted to close the band gap and induce a topological phase transition to a quantum anomalous Hall state when combined with magnetic dopants (e.g., Cr, V). Experimental verification could unlock dissipationless chiral edge channels without external magnetic fields. zii364
