Majorana mode

A Majorana mode refers to a type of particle that is its own antiparticle, named after the physicist Ettore Majorana. In quantum physics, these modes are significant in the study of topological materials, where they can behave in unique ways that are stable against disturbances. This property makes them potential candidates for quantum computing, as they can store and process information more reliably. Majorana modes are a key concept in advancing our understanding of quantum mechanics and exploring new technologies like fault-tolerant quantum computers.
