AbstractWe consider transport properties of a hybrid device composed by a quantum dot placed between normal and superconducting reservoirs, and coupled to a Majorana nanowire: a topological superconducting segment hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs) at the opposite ends. It is demonstrated that if highly nonlocal and nonoverlapping MBSs are formed in the system, the zero-bias Andreev conductance through the dot exhibits characteristic isoconductance profiles with the shape depending on the spin asymmetry of the coupling between the dot and the topological superconductor. Otherwise, for overlapping MBSs with less degree of nonlocality, the conductance is insensitive to the spin polarization and the isoconductance signatures disappear. This allows to propose an alternative experimental protocol for probing the nonlocality of the MBSs in Majorana nanowires.

Intense Research

Majorana bound states in topological superconductors have attracted intense research activity in view of applications in topological quantum computation. However, they are not the only example of topological bound states that can occur in such systems. We here study a model in which both Majorana and Tamm bound states compete. We show both numerically and analytically that, surprisingly, the Tamm state remains partially localized even when the spectrum becomes gapless. Despite this fact, we demonstrate that the Majorana polarization shows a clear transition between the two regimes.

A 4 π -periodic supercurrent through a Josephson junction can be a consequence of the presence of Majorana bound states. A systematic study of the radio frequency response for several temperatures and frequencies yields a concrete protocol for examining the 4 π -periodic contribution to the supercurrent. This work also reports the observation of a 4 π -periodic contribution to the supercurrent in BiSbTeSe 2 -based Josephson junctions. As a response to irradiation by radio frequency waves, the junctions showed an absence of the first Shapiro step. At high irradiation power, a qualitative correspondence to a model including a 4 π -periodic component to the supercurrent is found.
