Majorana Fermions in superconducting wires: effects of long-range hopping, broken time-reversal symmetry and potential landscapes

Wade DeGottardi, Manisha Thakurathi, Smitha Vishveshwara +1

We present a comprehensive study of two of the most experimentally relevant extensions of Kitaev's spinless model of a 1D p-wave superconductor: those involving (i) longer range ho…
