Majorana bound state in the continuum: Coupling between Majorana bound state and quantum dot mediated by continuum

Abstract

In this work, we consider a single-level quantum dot (QD) and a Majorana bound state (MBS) placed at the end of a topological superconducting nanowire (TSW). Both are coupled to the continuum and do not have a direct connection between them. We addressed the behavior of MBS leaking phenomena and its consequences into the QD physics in non-interacting and Coulomb blockade regime. By employing Green's function formalism via the equation of motion procedure, we calculate the physical quantities of interest. Our results show that the leakage of the MBS into the continuum state is achieved and can alter the physics of Coulomb blockade in the system through continuum-mediated coupling between MBS and QD. As a main consequence, we found a robust and non-trivial mechanism to accomplish a bound state in the continuum in the system.
