Majorana single-charge transistor<br />

Reinhold Egger, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Germany<br />

I discuss quantum transport properties through a topological insulator<br />

nanowire with proximity-induced pairing correlations, where Majorana<br />

fermions are present at the ends as a consequence of strong spin-orbit interactions.<br />

When contacted by normal leads, and taking into account the charging<br />

energy, this Majorana single-charge transistor allows to study Majorana<br />

physics in a well-defined and relatively simple interacting model.<br />
