Such conduct ing “surface” states\nare formed with helical Dirac fermions\, with sp in-momentum strictly\nlocked by spin-orbital coupling. When coupled to a c onventional s-wave\nsuperconductor (S)\, the surface state behaves just li ke the desired\np-wave superconductor. It has been predicted that Majorana zero-modes\nobeying non-Abelian statistics can appear in such a system.\n DTSTAMP:20250526T023854Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6833d43e6d19f DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20190823T114500 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20190823T114500 URL:/institute-for-quantum-computing/events/rac1-journa l-clubseminar-series-44 SUMMARY:RAC1 Journal Club/Seminar Series CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nACADEMIC WRITING WORKSHOP #4\n\nELISABETH VAN STAM (UW WRITING AND COMMUNICATION CENTRE)\n\nJoin us for our last session in t he clarity in scientific writing\nseries.
