Quantizing Majorana fermions in a superconductor

A Dirac-type matrix equation governs surface excitations in a topological insulator in contact with an s-wave superconductor. The order parameter can be homogenous or vortex valued. In the homogenous case a winding number can be defined whose nonvanishing value signals topological effects. A vortex...
