Speaker: Sankar Das Sarma, University of Maryland 

Abstract: I will describe the search for Majorana zero modes, which are predicted exotic bound states in certain types of superconductors.  These Majorana modes enable fault-tolerant quantum computation because of their peculiar topological properties allowing non-Abelian braiding.  I will discuss the underlying theory and the experimental progress toward Majorana laboratory realization.
