A chiral p-wave superconductor is a type of superconducting material characterized by a pairing symmetry that is chiral, meaning it has a preferred direction in its order parameter. This uniqueness in pairing allows for the emergence of Majorana fermions, which are quasiparticles that can exist at the edges or boundaries of these superconductors, leading to significant implications in topological quantum computing and robust quantum states.
congrats on reading the definition of Chiral p-wave superconductor. now let's actually learn it.
