Majorana fermions coupled to electromagnetic radiation

We consider a voltage-biased Josephson junction between two nanowires hosting Majorana zero modes which occur as topological protected zero-energy excitations at the junction. We show that two Majorana fermions localized at the junction, despite being neutral particles, interact with the electromagn...
