DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will first give an introduction to Majorana bo
 und states (MBS)\, zero-energy modes predicted to appear in exotic spin-po
 larized p-wave superconductors. MBS satisfy non-Abelian statistics and\, i
 n addition\, encode quantum information in a topologically protected manne
 r\, which makes them highly interesting for quantum computation applicatio
 ns. The required p-wave superconductivity seems to be hard to find in natu
 re\, but recent theoretical works have shown that it can instead be artifi
 cially engineered\, for example in a semiconductor nanowire with strong sp
 in-orbit coupling which is covered by a superconductor and exposed to a ma
 gnetic field. I will also discuss the recent experimental progress towards
  creating and detecting MBS.\nVortragende(r): Martin Leijnse
