DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yuval Oreg\nhosted by Georgios Katsaros\nAbstract: The
  search for low-dimensional topological superconductivity is fueled by the
  promise of new and exotic physics\, such as chiral superconductivity and 
 non-Abelian anyons. However\, the need to break time-reversal symmetry\, u
 sually by applying an external magnetic field\, has hindered the realizati
 on of these novel phases of matter. We propose several schemes for realizi
 ng topological superconductivity by controlling just the superconductors' 
 phases\, without a need for an external exchange field. Our platforms rely
  on commonly available semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures\, whe
 re spin-orbit coupling plays a central role. The main advantages of our ap
 proach over the existing ones are its tunability\, its suitability to a wi
 de range of materials\, and the lack of field-induced impurity states. We 
 complement the simplified models by an analysis of disorder effects and tr
 ansport simulations.
