Embedding Majorana fermions within the superconducting qubit architecture

In this talk I will discuss the light matter effects that could arise if Majorana fermions are embedded within a superconducting charge qubit I argue that such a device could 1 contribute to the spectroscopic detection of topological superconductor Majorana excitations and 2 behave as a new type of charge qubit device for which the microwave photon qubit coupling can be switched off via quantum interference We propose that this device could perform as a high coherence four
