The 1937 theoretical discovery of Majorana fermions—whose defining property is that they
are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

Majorana fermions (particles that are their own antiparticle) may or may not exist in nature as
elementary building blocks, but in condensed matter they can be constructed out of electron …

Majorana zero modes—quasiparticle states localized at the boundaries of topological
superconductors—are expected to be ideal building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum …

INTRODUCTION Majorana zero modes (MZMs) localized at the ends of one-dimensional
topological superconductors are promising candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing …

The critical current of a superconductor can depend on the direction of current flow due to
magnetochiral anisotropy when both inversion and time-reversal symmetry are broken, an …

Majorana bound states are quasiparticle excitations localized at the boundaries of a
topologically nontrivial superconductor. They are zero-energy, charge-neutral, particle–hole …

Over the past decade, there have been considerable efforts to observe non-abelian
quasiparticles in novel quantum materials and devices. These efforts are motivated by the …

Recently, it has been suggested that topological superconductivity and Majorana end states
can be realized in a chain of magnetic impurities on the surface of an s-wave …

Majorana fermions hold promise for quantum computation, because their non-Abelian
braiding statistics allows for topologically protected operations on quantum information …

This is a tutorial review of methods to braid the world lines of non-Abelian anyons (Majorana
zero-modes) in topological superconductors. That" Holy Grail" of topological quantum …
