TT 32: Focus Session: Chiral Topological Superconductors and Majorana Fermions

Tuesday, March 13, 2018, 09:30–12:45, H 0104

Chiral topological superconductors provide a paradigm of unconventional superconductivity. Such systems break time-reversal symmetry and exhibit rather exotic properties: they feature dispersive Majorana modes around their sample edge, and quantum vortices might host Majorana zero modes which display non-Abelian braiding statistics. This symposium aims to provide an overview of the current experimental and theoretical status as well as future directions of both chiral bulk superconductors and Shiba lattice systems presented by some of the leading experts in the field.
