Department of Physics, Duke University, Box 90305, Durham, North Carolina 27708-0305, USA(Dated: July 21, 2011)We propose an experimental setup for detecting a Majorana zero mode consisting of a spinless quantum dotcoupled to the end of a p-wave superconducting nanowire. If the wire is in the topological phase, a Majoranabound state appears at its end, and the on-resonance conductance through the dot at zero temperature is e
