Even–odd parity effects in Majorana junctions

We study a general Majorana junction, where N helical nanowires are connected to a common s-wave superconductor proximity-inducing Majorana bound states in the wires. The normal part of each wire ( j  = 1,…, N ) acts as connected lead, where electrons can tunnel into the respective Majorana state γ...
