The 2017 report of the predicted half-quantized two-terminal conductance $0.5 e^{2}/h$ was retracted, and Kayyalha et al. (Science 367, 2020, doi:10.1126/science.aax6361) showed such plateaus arise when the superconductor shorts the device. Determine whether the $N = 1$ phase exists in any such hybrid. An answer is a direct signature, such as thermal Hall conductance $\\kappa_{xy} = \\kappa_{0}/2$ with $\\kappa_{0} = \\pi^{2} k_{B}^{2} T/(3h)$, or an interferometric signal of a single chiral Majorana mode.","problem_ref":null,"references":"","settled_by":"Thermal conductance or Majorana interferometry on a proximitized quantum anomalous Hall edge, with geometries that exclude superconducting shorts.","status_note":"No chiral Majorana edge mode is established as of 2026, to this survey's knowledge.","title":"Chiral Majorana edge modes in anomalous Hall superconductor hybrids","topic_ref":"22b1c284f405dca649b67435bdabcd2fe6cb89dca2e57c0dd9c49b870c73940e"},"attested":{"attestation":{"batch":null,"client_id":null,"id_token_sha256":null,"kind":"platform"},"record_hash":"1de384ca3cb56f6b0752fbe538f89576d8319190fea6d73c94c841afbc1c6130","schema":"pubphys.attested/1"},"envelope":{"attested_hash":"ff9f1e5b3c751ba6624feb6aa99f3045cbc9be5ead4726d968786dd677c9612f","platform_signature":{"key_id":"c6afc19b31429869751f06879c75cd64ea92654423d15b44be775bf1310a60da","sig":"5WQlePn-Y35ARN6ZtVSsh9SXUz4-YlW45kLC5o-I7P-aUzDu1IYHVn3KTdYo6sWAdwg08cKNF-a0p7VVp6IlDw"},"schema":"pubphys.envelope/1"},"record_hash":"1de384ca3cb56f6b0752fbe538f89576d8319190fea6d73c94c841afbc1c6130","leaf_index":1078}
