Transport Signatures of a Majorana Qubit and Read-out-induced Dephasing
arXiv:1901.08312 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ab1431
Abstract
Motivated by recent proposals of Majorana qubits and the read-out of their quantum state we investigate a qubit setup formed by two parallel topological wires shunted by a superconducting bridge. The wires are further coupled to two quantum dots, which are also linked directly, thus creating an interference loop. The transport current through this system shows an interference pattern which distinguishes two basis states of the qubit in a QND measurement. We analyze various properties of the interference current and the read-out process, including the resulting dephasing and relaxation. We also analyze the effects of varying control parameters such as gate voltages on the current. The characteristic dependencies could serve as a signature of Majorana bound states.
