SUMMARY:Interacting Majoranas
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Armin Rahmani\, Western Washington University\nHosted
	 by: Claudio Chamon\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Seri
	es.\n\nMajorana fermions are the real (in a mathematical sense) counterpart
	s of \ncomplex fermions like ordinary electrons. The promise of topological
	 \nquantum computing with these non-Abelian anyons has lead to substantial 
	\nexperimental progress in realizing these particles in various synthetic \
	nplatforms. The realization of Majorana fermions motivates a separate \nfun
	damental question: What phases of matter can emerge if many Majorana \nferm
	ions are allowed to interact? The early progress thus far suggests \nthat s
	trongly correlated phases of matter with Majorana building blocks \ncan exh
	ibit many novel phenomena\, such as emergent spacetime \nsupersymmetry\, as
	 well as providing alternative avenues for universal \ntopological quantum 
	computing. Here we discuss the rich phase diagrams \nof one- and quasi-one-
	dimensional systems of interacting Majoranas\, \nnamely the Majorana-Hubbar
	d chain and two- and four-leg Majorana-Hubbard \nladders.
