Majorana Qubits
arXiv:1404.0897
Abstract
Contribution to the 44th IFF Spring School held at the Forschungszentrum Jülich in 2013 on "Quantum Information Processing". The notes include a pedagogic (but incomplete) introduction to Majorana fermions; especially paying attention to the usefulness for quantum information purposes. It contains an introduction to topological aspects of superconductors, braiding, physical implementations, and measurement of the quantum information using superconducting qubits.
