This is an important question, because while no definitive experimental demonstration of Majoranas has been achieved, recent experiments show very promising results. These experiments deal with interacting systems, so there is a need to define and make sense of Majoranas for such systems.
In our recent paper, we fill in the missing details. We tell the story of how spatially separated Majoranas imply protection, in a general and rigorous way valid for both interacting and non-interacting systems.

About the qGAP meeting series
Welcome to qGAP, our seminar series on Quantum Physics and Quantum Technology.
The series of seminars/lectures are meant to cover broadly activities at UiO and elsewhere related to quantum physics and technologies, mainly from a theoretical perspective, though we also welcome experimental talks.
We aim at having regular seminars, discussions of recent articles, presentations by master and PhD students and more. We aim for this series to be a combination of research talks and journal clubs.
Educational topics are also most welcome.
Please feel free to suggest speakers, yourself included!
Get in touch with Gunnar Lange to suggest a speaker or if you would like to be included in the mailing list.
All are welcome!
