CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nINTRODUCTION TO MAJORANA TOPOLOGICAL QUBITS\n\nABST
 RACT: This presentation will introduce some of the experimental\napproache
 s to building topological qubits and the theories supporting\ncurrent rese
 arch. Beginning from the early toy models that first\nproposed the formati
 on of Majorana bound states\, I aim to convey an\nunderstanding of why top
 ological qubits are so resistant to\ndecoherence. I will introduce the “
 ingredients” necessary to build\na Majorana device and some of the chall
 enges involved. Finally\, I will\ndiscuss the field's current state and wh
 at might be next on the\njourney to making topological quantum computing a
  reality. Neither an\nunderstanding of topology nor quantum algorithms are
  necessary to\nenjoy this talk!\n
