Majorana zero modes in Y-shape interacting Kitaev wires

Abstract Motivated by the recent experimental realization of minimal Kitaev chains using quantum dots, we investigate the Majorana zero modes (MZM) in Y-shape Kitaev wires. We solve the associated Kitaev models analytically at the sweet spot (t h  = Δ) and derive the exact form of MZM wave-functions...
