Majorana modes

A postdoc position is available in the group of Prof. Yoichi Ando at the University of Cologne. We are attempting to elucidate the non-Abelian nature of the Majorana zero modes generated in a topological insulator (TI) platform. The successful candidate will develop and characterize TI-superconductor (SC) hybrid devices to detect and manipulate emerging Majorana zero modes using circuit-QED and/or quantum transport techniques, so that the confirmation of non-Abelian statistics via braiding becomes possible in the next few years.

There is a PhD opening in the group of Fabian Hassler on `Exploring Majorana modes in van der Waals heterostructures' at the Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University (www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/~bbllv).
