Noise as a probe for Majorana bound states.

The emergence of Majorana fermion bound states has been studied in several environments. In this paper, we discuss the current-voltage characteristics of a Majorana fermion state as a function of the voltage, temperature, and magnetic field and compare the results to experiment. Based on the agreement and identified parameters, we calculate the noise as possible proof of the emergence of Majorana fermions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
