Topological superconducting state and Majorana fermions in carbon nanotubes

Topological superconducting state and Majorana fermions in carbon nanotubes

We show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are good candidates for one-dimensional topological superconductivity with Majorana fermions (MFs) localized at the tube ends. Such states can potentially be useful for topological quantum computation using a nanotube network. The physics behind topological superconductivity in CNTs is novel and mediated by a recently …
