Topological Superfluids: Majorana Fermions
The subject of topological superfluids, though they were not originally called by that name, actually antedates that of topological insulators, and has played a major role in the attempt to implement topological quantum computation (see lectures 26 and 28). Crudely speaking, the analogy with TI’s goes as follows: in a crystalline solid with spin-orbit coupling, the single-particle energy eigens...

متن کاملBraiding With Majorana Fermions
This paper is an introduction to relationships between topology, quantum computing and the properties of fermions. In particular we study the remarkable unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana fermions.
متن کاملMajorana and Majorana-Weyl fermions in lattice gauge theory
In various dimensional euclidean lattice gauge theories, we examine a compatibility of the Majorana decomposition and the charge conjugation property of lattice Dirac operators. In 8n and 1+8n dimensions, we find a difficulty to decompose a classical lattice action of the Dirac fermion into a system of the Majorana fermion and thus to obtain a factrized form of the Dirac determinant. Similarly,...
متن کاملFERMIONS Doubling down on Majorana
Ettore Majorana has been missing for 74 years, but his most important legacy in physics is lately very much in the news. The still-hypothetical Majorana fermion is in a sense a completely ‘real’ particle — its mathematical representation doesn’t have an imaginary part — it is, therefore, its own antiparticle. Whereas particle physics was the context of the original proposal — and experiments ai...
