Magneto-Chiral topological superconductivity is a rare phase long pursued for error-free quantum computation. Its 1D chiral modes possess topologically protected long-range coherence well beyond that of the cooper pairs, which could be fruitful for quantum transduction and low-temperature spin transport. While evidence for such modes is mounting, unambiguous signatures, such as non-local transport via co-tunneling, remain elusive. I will describe our realization of 1D chiral hinge modes mediating the direct tunneling of electrons from source to drain in FeTe0.55Se0.45. Specifically, I will discuss our evidence that the non-local tunneling signatures are decoherence-free and emerge from this material's combination of surface magnetism, bulk topology, and superconductivity. Time remaining, I will discuss how these advances can be used for Majorana Circuits and future efforts in cryogenic spintronics.
