| Summary: | Topologically non-trivial superconductivity, or more succinctly known as chiral superconductivity, is a new property of quantum matter actively chased after by today＇s condensed matter community. The motivations for such research efforts are mainly twofold. For one, it is naturally intriguing to integrate superconductivity and topology, respectively among the most fundamental and stimulating concepts in physics and mathematics. For the other, properly architectured chiral superconductors may harbor Majorana fermions, which in turn could be exploited for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. |
