Research Impact

Discovery of spin-orbit torque and first report of the signature of non-Abelian Majorana excitations are a few notable achievements of Dr. Rokhinson’s group in the past. The current interests of the group focus on engineering topologically non-trivial states of matter using various platforms and materials, with a far-reaching goal of developing fault tolerant quantum bits. The group applies deep knowledge of semiconductor physics to increase coherence time and mitigate scaling restrictions of conventional superconducting quantum computing processors.
