Description |
In this talk, I would like to review the physics of fractionalization of fermion numbers in localized states in several condensed matter systems. The main focus of the talk would be on realization of these states at the edges of superconductors with non-s-wave pairing symmetry and their possible signature in tunneling conductance and Josephson effect. Time permitting, I would like to discuss the fate of these states in time-reversal broken systems. |
