Majorana zero modes and topological quantum computation: What, why, how, when?
Abstract: I will discuss the current status of the search for non-Abelian Majorana zero modes (MZMs) and topological superconductivity in solid state systems, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. In particular, the highly-developed physics of the search for MZMs in hybrid semiconductor-superconductor systems will be discussed along with the analysis of a recent breakthrough experiment from Microsoft Quantum on high-quality semiconductor nanowires.
