Majoranas in topological insulators and superconductors

Introduction¶ We have a returning lecturer for the first chapter of this week’s lectures: Carlo Beenakker from Leiden University, who will tell us more about different ways to create Majoranas in superconducting vortices. Different types of bulk-edge correspondence¶ By now, we have seen examples of how the topological properties of the bulk of a material can give birth to new physical properties a
