Search for Majorana Fermions in p-Type Semiconductor Thin Films and Nanowires
Abstract: Majorana fermions were envisioned by E. Majorana in 1935 to describe neutrinos. Majorana fermions are intriguing because they can be construed as their own anti-particles and follow non-Abe...

Quantum Journal Club: Coherent Ultrafast Measurement of Time-Bin Encoded Photons
Abstract: Time-bin encoding is a robust form of optical quantum information, especially for transmission in optical fibers. To readout the information, the separation of the time bins must be larger ...
