Observation of Majorana Fermions in a Nb-InSb Nanowire-Nb Hybrid Quantum Device (2012, background): “In addition, This hi gh zero-bias conductance plateau structure implies that the t ransport through a pair of Majorana fermions will contribute to the conductance with an approximately constant value (whic h may strongly depend on the phase di fference between the two superconductor Nb contacts [7])”
The quantum Ising chain for beginners (2020, background): “The case of a chain with open boundary conditions is particularly interesting, because Majorana fermions, and the associated zero-energy modes, emerge quite naturally from the discussion [11].”
