Thermoelectric signatures of a Majorana bound state coupled to a quantum dot

We theoretically investigate the possibility to use thermolectric measurements to detect Majorana bound states and to investigate their coupling to a dissipative environment. The particle–hole symmetry of Majorana states would normally lead to a vanishing Seebeck coefficient, i.e. a vanishing open-c...
