Abstract We investigate the nonlocal transport modulated by Coulomb interactions in devices comprising two interacting Majorana wires, where both nanowires are in proximity to a mesoscopic superconducting (SC) island. Each Majorana bound state (MBS) is coupled to one lead via a quantum dot with resonant levels. In this device, the nonlocal correlations can be induced in the absence of Majorana energy splitting. We find that the negative differential conductance and giant current noise cross correlation could be induced, due to the interplay between nonlocality of MBSs and dynamical Coulomb blockade effect. This feature may provide a signature for the existence of the MBSs.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
