Influence of long-range interaction on Majorana zero modes

Abstract

Majorana bound states, with their non-Abelian properties, are candidates for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we study the influence of long-range many-body interactions on Majorana zero modes present in Kitaev chains. We show that these interactions can suppress the lifetime of the Majorana zero mode. We also discuss the role of long-range interactions on the Majorana state's spatial structure, and the overlap of the Majorana states localized at opposite ends of the chain. We have determined that increasing the interaction strength leads to decreasing of the stability of the Majorana modes. Moreover, we found out that interaction between particles located at more distant sites plays a more destructive role than the interaction between nearest neighbors.
