Statistics of Josephson vortices in topological superconductors
POSTER
Abstract
In recent years there has been an intensive search for Majorana fermions in condensed matter systems. Predicted to be localized on cores of vortices in certain non-conventional superconductors, their presence is known to render the exchange statistics of bulk vortices non-Abelian. In this talk I will present novel results regarding the persistence of Majorana zero modes into insulating barriers, providing a way to coherently and effectively manipulate them. A method to probe the Majorana modes will be presented.
