Research on Majorana fermions

Research on Majorana fermions focuses on tiny particles that are their own antiparticles, unlike most particles which have counterparts. Scientists are investigating these particles in special materials and conditions because they could enable more stable and efficient quantum computers. Majorana fermions could store and process data in ways that are highly resistant to errors, making them promising for advanced technology. Although their existence has not been definitively confirmed yet, ongoing experiments aim to detect their unique signatures. Understanding and manipulating Majorana fermions could revolutionize computing and deepen our grasp of fundamental physics.
