Realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in coupled quantum dots

Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such states can arise at the ends of a spinless p -wave superconducting chain 1 . Practical proposals for its realization 2 , 3 req...
