Inducing Time-Reversal-Invariant Topological Superconductivity and Fermion Parity Pumping in Quantum Wires

We propose a setup to realize time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors in quantum wires, proximity coupled to conventional superconductors. We consider a model of quantum wire with strong spin-orbit coupling and proximity coupling to two s-wave superconductors. When the relative phase bet...
