MAGNETIC TOPOLOGICAL INSULATORS FOR ROBUST MAJORANA BOUND STATES
Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) display a fascinating interplay between magnetic order and topologically nontrivial band structures. In the MAGMA project (“Magnetic topological insulators for robust Majorana bound states”), which is funded by the European QuantERA program and by the national research agencies of Luxem-bourg, Germany and Spain, we will investigate MTI nanostructures experimentally and theoretically, in particular in the presence of superconductivity induced by the proximity effect. The aim of this project is to engineer Majorana bound states and to establish MTIs as a platform for topological quantum computation.
