In the realm of materials science, topological materials are gaining attention for their unique properties that result from the intricate nature of their wavefunctions. These materials, such as molybdenum telluride (MoTe2), exhibit edge states where the behavior of electrons at the material’s boundaries differs from those in the bulk. When topological materials are also superconductors,
