Majorana braiding in realistic nanowire Y-junctions and tuning forks

Majorana fermions are predicted to arise at the ends of nanowire devices which combine superconductivity, strong spin-orbit coupling, and an external magnetic field. By manipulating networks of these devices with suitable gating, it has been suggested that braiding operations may be performed which...
