The layered compound 𝛾-PtBi2 is a topological semimetal with Fermi arcs at the surface joining bulk Weyl points. Recent work has found signatures of surface superconductivity consisting of gap openings compatible with a critical temperature orders of magnitude larger than the bulk value. However, no superconducting vortices have been identified, raising questions about the robustness of the phase coherence. Here we use very low temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and find robust superconductivity with Tc=2.9 K and Hc2=1.8 T linked to the Fermi arcs. We observe quantized superconducting vortices and the Josephson effect, demonstrating two-dimensional macroscopic quantum phase coherence. [Full Article]
