Majorana Bound States hallmark in a quantum topological interferometer ring
In this work, we investigate the conductance and current correlations properties of a quantum topological inteferometer consisting of a QD coupled to two Majorana Bound States (MBSs) confined at both ends of a 1D topological superconductor ring nanowire. We analyze the ring in its topological non trivial and trivial phases to show that the tunneling conductance, shot noise and fano factor present unique characteristics to distinguish the hallmark of MBSs. We reinforce our findings by taking advantage of the correspondence between the quantum topological interferometer and a dot effectively coupled to a single Majorana state in a straight topological superconductor wire configuration. We show that, besides the characteristic zero-bias conductance $e^{2} /2h$ and the already known shot noise features, the Fano factor provides significant information to distinguish the MBSs presence.
