Abstract

This article reviews the basic concepts of second quantization as used in condensed matter physics. The Kitaev chain was the first system shown to exhibitMajorana zeromodes, which exhibit novel statistics and thus find enormous applications in topological quantum computation. Simple calculations of the band structure and density of states showing the presence of Majorana zero modes are presented.
