(color online) Schematic set up for detecting the quantum correlations between two QDs mediated by a pair of MFs. The MFs (γ₁ and γ₂) are located at the two ends of the semiconductor nanowire with strong spin–orbit coupling and placed in proximity to an s-wave superconductor. λ refers to the coupling between the MFs and QDs. Two electrode leads are coupled to the QDs to investigate the decoherence effects on the quantum correlations.
