Quasiclassical theory of disordered multi-channel Majorana quantum wires

Multi-channel spin–orbit quantum wires, when subjected to a magnetic field and proximity coupled to an s-wave superconductor, may support Majorana states. We study what happens to these systems in the presence of disorder. Inspired by the widely established theoretical methods of mesoscopic supercon...
