Description
Topological Josephson junctions and solitons with non-
Abelian statistics
Abstract: In recent years, chiral topological superconductors
have been the subject of intensive
study. These superconductors are characterized by the
presence of charge-neutral Majorana
edge states. Driven by prospects for applications in fault-
tolerant quantum computation, Majorana
fermions are ardently sought after. When a Josephson
junction is formed between two topological
superconductors, Josephson vortices through this junction
carry a localized Majorana mode which
affects their dynamics. In this talk I will discuss some of the
properties of these Josephson vortices.
