报告摘要：Majorana fermions, first envisioned by E. Majorana in 1935 to describe neutrinos, often emerge as topological quasiparticle excitations of the underlying systems. Majorana fermions are intriguing because they are their own anti-particles and follow non-Abelian anyonic statistics. Although the emergence of Majorana fermions in any condensed matter or atomic system is by itself an extraordinary phenomenon, they have also come under a great deal of recent attention due to their potential use in fault tolerant topological quantum computation. In this talk, I will give a general introduction for topological quantum computation and Majorana fermions. I will discuss recent theoretical and experimental progress on the search for Majorana fermions in different experimental systems. I will highlight some contributions of my group in this rapidly developing field.
