Nontrivial bulk topological invariants of quantum materials can leave their signatures on charge, thermal and spin transports.In two dimensions, their imprints can be experimentally measured from well-developed multiterminal Hall bar arrangements.Here, we numerically compute the low temperature (T ) thermal (κxy) and zero temperature spin (σ sp xy ) Hall conductivities, and longitudinal thermal conductance (G th xx ) of various prominent two-dimensional fully gapped topological superconductors, belonging to distinct Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry classes, namely p + ip (class D), d + id (class C) and p ± ip (class DIII) paired states, in mesoscopic six-terminal Hall bar setups from the scattering matrix formalism using Kwant.In both clean and weak disorder limits, the timereversal symmetry breaking p + ip and d + id pairings show half-quantized and quantized κxy [in units of κ0 = π 2 k 2 B T /(3h)], respectively, while the latter one in addition accommodates a quantized σ sp xy [in units of σ sp 0 = ℏ/(8π)].By contrast, the time-reversal invariant p ± ip pairing only displays a quantized G th xx at low T up to a moderate strength of disorder.In the strong disorder regime, all these topological responses (κxy, σ sp xy , and G th xx ) vanish.Possible material platforms hosting such paired states and manifesting these robust topological thermal and spin responses are discussed.
