Majorana bound states in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems — •Karsten Flensberg — Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen

It has been theoretically predicted that topological superconductivity can be engineered in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems and many experiments have by now realized such candidate systems. In the talk, I will discuss ways to discern Majorana bound states from other non-topological states in transport measurement. Moreover, the talk will discuss proposals for the steps towards showing the nonlocal and nonabelian physics that is theoretically expected for a system of Majorana bound states.
