What are the Unique Properties of Topological Superconductors?
Topological superconductors host Majorana fermions, which are particles that are their own antiparticles. These particles can exist as zero-energy modes at defects or boundaries. The non-Abelian statistics of Majorana fermions make them potential candidates for topological quantum computing. In nanotechnology, they are being explored for creating qubits that are more stable and less prone to decoherence.
