Majorana zero modes and topological quantum computation What, why, how, when|Prof. Sankar Das Sarma

Date: 14 November, 2025 Speaker: Prof. Sankar Das Sarma Topological quantum computing involves using non-Abelian Majorana zero modes for carrying out error-free fault-tolerant quantum computing. This is the preferred quantum computing platform of Microsoft Corporation, which has devoted a large effort on the realization of this idea. Such low energy stable Majorana zero mode quasiparticles may emerge in low-dimensional topological superconductors, and they are their own antiparticles (hence, 'Majorana'). These quasiparticles are (SU2)2 anyons, obeying non-Abelian braiding statistics, and can be used for fault-tolerant quantum computation. I will discuss the current status of the search for non-Abelian Majorana zero modes in solid state systems, discussing both theory and experiment. I will also provide my personal prognosis on what the future holds for the subject
