Super-Poissonian noise from quasiparticle poisoning in electron transport through a pair of Majorana bound states
arXiv:2409.05594 · doi:10.1103/m3gq-x86z
Abstract
Topological qubits based on non-abelian Majorana bound states (MBSs) are protected by parity which is challenged by quasiparticle poisoning (QPP). In this work, we show how QPP affects transport through a pair of coupled MBSs weakly connected to two current leads, using an open system approach and full counting statistics. We find that the correct low-energy physics requires to include next to leading order tunneling events in the coupling to the leads. In particular, our results show that QPP causes super-Poissonian local shot noise with a Fano factor that diverges with decreasing bias voltage, while the current and the non-local (cross-)noise are only little affected. We explain that these features are a direct consequence of the nature of MBSs being their own antiparticle making noise measurements a viable tool to search for MBSs in the presence of QPP.
