Effects of Majorana bound states on dissipation and charging in a quantum resistor-capacitor circuit
arXiv:2011.04169 · doi:10.1016/j.cap.2018.08.001
Abstract
We investigate the effects of Majorana bound states on the ac response of a quantum resistor-capacitor circuit which is composed of a topological superconducting wire whose two ends are tunnel-coupled to a lead and a spinless quantum dot, respectively. The Majorana states formed at the two ends of the wire are found to suppress completely or enhance greatly the dissipation, depending on the strength of the overlap between two Majorana modes and/or the dot level. We compare the relaxation resistance and the quantum capacitance of the system with those of non-Majorana counterparts to find that the effects of the Majorana state on the ac response are genuine and cannot be reproduced in ordinary fermonic systems.
