Observation of the 4π-periodic Josephson effect in indium arsenide nanowires

The interplay of induced superconductivity and magnetic fields should drive InAs nanowires into a topological superconducting phase. Laroche et al. use the microwave radiation emitted by an InAs nanowire Josephson junction to observe the 4π-periodic Josephson effect, a hallmark of the topological ph...
