Fragility of surface states in topological superfluid 3He

Surface states in topological quantum matter are protected by their band structure. Here, on confined superfluid 3He as a model for topological superconductors, the authors report experimental evidence on the fragility of surface Andreev bound states with respect to the details of surface scattering...
