The Kondo effect is a striking consequence of the coupling of itinerant electrons to a quantum spin with degenerate energy levels. While degeneracies are commonly thought to arise from symmetries or fine-tuning of parameters, the recent emergence of Majorana fermions has brought to the fore an entirely different possibility: a topological degeneracy that arises from the nonlocal character of Majorana fermions. Here we show that nonlocal quantum spins formed from these degrees of freedom give…

We propose and study a parafermionic generalization of the topological Kondo effect. The latter has been predicted to arise for a Coulomb-blockaded mesoscopic topological superconductor (Majorana
Charge Fractionalization in the Two-Channel Kondo Effect.

Physical review letters
• 2018
It is elucidated that precisely such an unusual effect may occur in the simplest possible non-Fermi liquid, the two-channel Kondo effect, and elementary transport processes of emergent fermions carrying half-integer charge are identified.
Interplay between correlations and Majorana mode in proximitized quantum dot

• 2018
It is found that the Majorana mode has either constructive or destructive effect on the low-energy transport behavior of the quantum dot, depending on its spin, which could be verified by means of the polarized STM spectroscopy.
Tunnelling density of states studies of the topological Kondo effect
Coupling Majorana fermions to metallic conduction electrons will lead to the so-called topological Kondo effect, which is an embodiment of the exotic non-local properties that Majorana fermions
