Proposed discussions

*lets list here topics and questions. After interested participant self-identify, a convenient time can be sorted out*

## MBL 
- Higher dimensions
- Floquet systems
- Spin glasses

**Interested**: Arijeet, Ivar,...

## Odd-f superconductivity and its connection to Majorana fermions.
* is it the same thing?
* connection between ballistic and semiclassical approaches?

Lit: 
* [Mapping of the two-channel Kondo problem to a resonant-level model, V. J. Emery and S. Kivelson](http://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.46.10812)
* [Theory of superconducting and magnetic proximity effect in S/F structures with inhomogeneous magnetization textures and spin-active interfaces, Linder et al](http://arxiv.org/pdf/0901.1961.pdf)
* [The quasiclassical approach to superfluid 3He, J.W Serene, D Rainer](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0370157383900510)

**Interested**: Ivar, ...

## Floquet/TI, with relaxation/dissipation
* interesting possibilities in multi-Floquet spaces?

**Interested**: Ivar, Xiaopeng, Dong , Majo, Mohammad, Justin, Babak

## Vortices in p-wave excitonic(-polaritonic?) condensates
* are there cores states analogous to Majoranas?
* what happens when d-vector is not confined to a plane?

Lit: 
* [A new type of half-quantum circulation in a macroscopicpolariton spinor ring condensate, 2014](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.4339.pdf) 

**Interested**: Ivar, Xiaopeng, Yip, Babak

## Majoranas
* Open questions?
* Robust non-topological operations?
* Majoranas in unusual settings (helical magnets or interface between s-wave and semiconductors)?
* Issues with detection?
* Majoranas with superconducting circuits 
* Molenkamp Fractional Josephson experiments  arXiv:1603.09611, arXiv:1601.08055, arXiv:1503.05591 
* Open questions related to fractional Josephson effect- How to model ac effect with dissipation and continuum states? how likely is it to get false positives - as a function of frequency?
* Open questions related to Shapiro states -  How to model Shapiro step with interaction, finite T Ohmic dissipation and dynamics - what would be a low voltage safe case?

**Interested**: Ivar, Dong, Eran, Yuval, Jay, Yip, Julia
 

Past: **Date/Time/Loc**: June 10, 3 pm. Bethe

## Landau-Zener-Stuckelbert with dissipation 
* different regimes?
* pulsed vs continuous drive?
* systems: qubits, magnetic atoms, e.g. in Li(Ho,Y)F
