Deskripsi

Majorana fermions, particles which are their own antiparticles, are predicted to exist in systems combining superconductivity and topologically non-trivial band structure. Here, the authors propose means to create and manipulate such excitations in one-dimensional chains of adatoms on superconducting surfaces.
