Description:
 HgTe edge in proximity to an s-wave superconductor
Step1:  Let us define a simple real, and hence time reversal invariant lattice model that can serve as a good description to a 1D chiral edge channel. We start from the SSH model and relabel the sublattice degrees of freedom as spins, and we introduce an extra onsite magnetic field  $B$ in the z direction. 
We also introduce s-wave superconductivity in the system, with the usual $i\sigma_y$-type pairing. 
The onsite $U$ and hopping matrices $T$ are defined below as sympy.Matrix objects since we want to perform some analytic calculations with them
Step2:  The $k$-dependent Bogoliubov–de Gennes matrix is defined below
Step3:  We can diagonalize this yealding the eigenvalues of the system
Step4:  Since we have an explicitely real Bogoliubov-de Gennes matrix we can define a chiral symmetry as $\tau_1\sigma_0$. Whit the help of this symmetry we can transform the Bogoliubov-de Gennes matrix to a block off-diagonal form.
Step5:  This is the Chiral symmetry operator
Step6:  The eigenvectors of this matrix give the unitary transformation necessary to block off-diagonalize the $\mathcal{H}$ matrix
Step7:  The Winding number of the determinant of the nonzero subblock will serve as a topological invariant for this model
Step8:  Looking at the imaginary and real part of this quantity we recognize that it describes an ellipse
Step9:  From the above expressions we can infer the topological phase diagram of the system. While keeping a finite value of $\Delta$ tuning $\mu^2+\Delta^2-B^2$ in the interval $[0,4\gamma^2]$ the system has a Winding number of one and hence is topological, otherwhise it is trivial.
Let us examine the winding and the spectrum as we tune the parameters of the system
Step10:  Finally let us calculate the spectrum of a wire of finite length and let us look for zero energy excitations!
