| Description: | [DPS Seminar] Prof. Sumathi Rao (HRI, Allahabad) -- Fingerprints of Majorana bound states in the Aharanov-Bohm geometry |
| Date: | Friday, Jul 29, 2016 |
| Time: | 11 a.m. - noon |
| Venue: | G05, Lecture Hall Complex |
| Details: | We introduce the idea of Majorana excitations using the simple one-dimensional Kitaev model as an example and explain how it leads to non-abelian statistics. We then discuss the problem of detecting an edge Majoranamode experimentally and distinguishing it from other spurious Andreev bound states. Finally, we will discuss our proposal to detect Majorana bound states using an Aharanov-Bohm ring. |
