Zero-energy pinning from interactions in Majorana nanowires

Condensed-matter physics: zero-energy pinning of Majoranas Majorana zero modes are quasiparticle excitations which are charge neutral at the boundaries of topological superconductors. Their practical generation in semiconducting nanowires of realistic length often faces Majorana overlaps leading to...
