One of the best and only brilliant lecture series on the internet. Thank you

Really enjoyed this Sergey, very interesting.

[amphitritev]

Very good tutorial, very insightful, well explained and cited

[FuweiZhuge]

thanks a lot, quite clear explanations.

Could you, please, explain me why there is parabola in energy dependence ?
U = (Ne)^2 /(2C) - NeV = (Ne - CV)^2/(2C) - (CV)^2/(2C). The last term does not depend on N but depends on CV.
So when we are plotting the energy for different values of N as a function of CV, why the last term (CV)^2/(2C) is not considered ?

[umeshrohilla]

Which book have you followed for this Sir?

[cerimite]

Could any excess energy in the capacitor be redirected for creating more majorana particles in a closed system.

nothing is understandable ..The coulomb diamonds ae no esplained well
