DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCTION TO MAJORANA TOPOLOGICAL QUBITS\n\nABSTRACT: This p
 resentation will introduce some of the experimental\napproaches to buildin
 g topological qubits and the theories supporting\ncurrent research. Beginn
 ing from the early toy models that first\nproposed the formation of Majora
 na bound states\, I aim to convey an\nunderstanding of why topological qub
 its are so resistant to\ndecoherence. I will introduce the “ingredients
 ” necessary to build\na Majorana device and some of the challenges invol
 ved. Finally\, I will\ndiscuss the field's current state and what might be
  next on the\njourney to making topological quantum computing a reality. N
 either an\nunderstanding of topology nor quantum algorithms are necessary 
 to\nenjoy this talk!
