Developing majorana building blocks for quantum computers

We synthesize materials and nanoscale devices which exhibit unconventional quantum-physical effects. As a major achievement we have proven the existence of Majorana fermions at the interface of an InSb nanowire with a superconductor. Ultimately we aim at creating Majorana fermions as building blocks for quantum computation.
