Detecting a Majorana-fermion zero mode using a quantum dot
We propose an experimental setup for detecting a Majorana zero mode consisting of a spinless quantum dot coupled to the end of a $p$-wave superconducting nanowire. The Majorana bound state at the end of the wire strongly influences the conductance through the quantum dot: Driving the wire through the topological …
