Kitaev chain

In condensed matter physics, the Kitaev chain or Kitaev–Majorana chain is a simplified model for a topological superconductor. It models a one dimensional lattice featuring Majorana bound states. The Kitaev chain has been used as a toy model of semiconductor nanowires for the development of topological quantum computers. The model was first proposed by Alexei Kitaev in 2000.
