Signatures of Majorana zero modes in spin-resolved current correlations
We consider a normal lead coupled to a Majorana bound state. We show that the spin-
resolved current correlations exhibit unique features which distinguish Majorana bound …

Noise and current correlations in tunnel junctions of quantum spin Hall edge states
F Dolcini - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The edge channels of two-dimensional topological systems are protected from elastic
reflection and are noiseless at low temperature. Yet, noise and cross correlations can be …
