Interplay of Shiba and Majorana states in nanostructures deposited on superconducting surfaces — •Uriel A. Aceves-Rodriguez, Filipe S. M. Guimarães, and Samir Lounis — Peter Grünberg Institut and Institute for Advanced Simulation, Forschungszentrum Jülich and JARA, 52425 Jülich, Germany

Majorana Bound States (MBS) are zero-energy modes that have become one of the leading candidates for the next generation of qubits, due to their topological protection and exchange statistics [1]. In pursuance of handling these entities, we implemented a multi-orbital tight-binding scheme, offering a realistic description of the electronic structure, to solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations self-consistently. We investigate in-gap states, such as Shiba states, emerging from various nanostructures on typical superconducting substrates. Additionally, we examine the occurrence of MBS at superconducting/non-superconducting interfaces of nanowires deposited on superconducting surfaces.
