Chiral detection of Majorana bound states: A story of clear advantage over conventional detection scheme

A hybrid setup consisting of a superconductivity-proximitized quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator and a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator is proposed for chiral injection of electrons into the Majorana bound state (MBS). An unexplored region of the phase space involving the Zeeman-field induced boost of the helical edge state is then proposed for the detection of the MBS. 2-D transport simulations of our proposed setup are compared with the corresponding setup in the absence of the QAH region, when moderate potential and magnetic disorder are included. The remarkable contrast between the two results demonstrates the possibility for an unprecedented immunity from disorder-induced masking of the MBS detection in our proposed setup.
