Detection and manipulation of Majorana fermions in superconducting circuits
The recent discovery of signatures consistent with Majorana fermions in topological superconductors may open the door to their future use in qubit devices. In this talk I will describe theoretical advances in the field of hybrid superconducting circuits that combine semiconductors and superconductors to form new types of topologically protected qubits. Given the time I will also survey experimental progress in these directions.
