Website doi abstract bibtex 5 downloads Higher order topological superconductors hosting Majorana-Kramers pairs (MKPs) as corner modes have recently been proposed in a two-dimensional (2D) quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) proximity-coupled to unconventional cuprate or iron-based superconductors. Here, we show that such MKPs can be realized using a conventional s-wave superfluid with a soliton in cold atom systems governed by the Hubbard-Hofstadter model. The MKPs emerge in the presence of interaction at the ``corners'' defined by the intersections of line solitons and the one-dimensional edges of the system. Our scheme is based on the recently realized cold atom Hubbard-Hofstadter lattice and will pave the way for observing Majorana corner modes and possible higher order topological superfluidity with conventional s-wave superfluids/superconductors.
