Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
providing a first quantum spin Hall (QSH) region comprising a first set of superconducting islands; and
providing a second QSH region, different from the first QSH region, comprising a second set of superconducting islands, different from the first set of superconducting islands, wherein respective superconducting islands in the first set of superconducting islands and the second set of superconducting islands are separated from each other using tunable barriers, and wherein each of the first set of superconducting conducting islands and each of the second set of superconducting islands includes at least one device comprising;
a semiconductor layer comprising an active material, and
a gate coupled to the semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer is operable in a quantum spin Hall insulator state by using electrons and holes from the active material in response to an application of an electric field to the semiconductor layer via the gate.
