摘要 
Since its discovery in 1994, the unconventional superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 has attracted tremendous interest. The prospect of it being a topological chiral p-wave superconductor, which supports Majorana fermions, makes it a potential solid state platform for topological quantum computation. However, despite the multiple signatures in support of chiral p-wave pairing, a number of key measurements in the last decade have called into question this interpretation. I will present our theoretical efforts on various fronts of this material, which culminated in the proposal of an alternative nematic p-wave pairing. Time permitting, I will also report our progress on  the so-called “Angular Momentum Paradox” raised more than fifty years ago in the study of a topological chiral superfluid.
