250. Two-site equation of motion technique - a Hubbard model study

10/06/2016, 11:00

One of the main problems of understanding strongly correlated systems is that there is no universally accepted sufficiently simple reference system available for their description. The main workhorse of condensed matter physics, namely independent fermions, is not a good place to start. A better starting point is operators that are closer to creating the actual excitations in the...

251. Topological Superconductors and Majorana Fermions

10/06/2016, 11:40

Topological superconductors (TSCs) are a newly discovered class of superconductors with features uniquely advantageous for quantum computing. They have recently raised an immense amount of attention due to the possibility of them hosting Majorana fermion quasiparticles at surfaces, vortices, and other defects. Approximately one can say that a Majorana fermion quasiparticle is half an...
