The 2DEG chip

Caption

Left: The 2DEG chip measured in these experiments (top) connected to a chip containing electrical resonators (bottom), that enable fast calibrations. Right: Electron microscope image of a nanoscale device used to study Majoranas. Voltages applied to the thin electrodes (or gates) are used to create quantum dots at the positions indicated by dashed circles. Small strips made of superconducting Aluminum allow for turning the chain of three quantum dots into a so-called Kitaev chain.
