Quantum charge pumping through Majorana bound states
arXiv:1809.00784 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.085435
Abstract
We study adiabatic charge pumping through a Majorana bound state tunnel coupled to multiple normal leads. We show that for most of the parameters such a pump does not lead to any net pumped charge between the various leads unless a multiply connected geometry is implemented. We introduce an Aharonov-Bohm ring geometry at the junction to implement such a multiply connected geometry. We further show that the Fourier transform of the pumped charge with respect to flux inserted through the ring shows a clear distinction between the case of an Andreev bound state and the Majorana bound state. Hence such a Fourier analysis can serve as a diagnostic for the detection of Majorana bound states in the proposed geometry.
