We investigate the effect of quantum interference on the Andreev reflections (ARs) induced by Majorana bound states (MBSs), by considering their additional coupling via a quantum-dot molecule. It is found that due to the direct and indirect couplings of MBSs, a quantum ring is constructed in this system. Consequently, the interference effect makes important contribution to the ARs, especially in the presence of the local magnetic flux. All the results are manifested as the tight dependence of the differential conductance and Fano factors on the magnetic flux phase factor, dot-MBS couplings, and the dot level, respectively. Moreover, at the zero-bias limit, the magnitudes of the Fano factors and their relation can be efficiently altered by the interference properties. We believe that quantum interference is important for manipulating the Andreev reflection behaviors of the MBSs.
我们通过考虑经由量子点分子的额外耦合,研究了量子干涉对由马约拉纳束缚态(MBSs)诱导的安德列夫反射(ARs)的影响。结果发现,由于MBSs的直接和间接耦合,在该系统中构建了一个量子环。因此,干涉效应对ARs有重要贡献,特别是在存在局部磁通量的情况下。所有结果分别表现为微分电导和法诺因子对磁通量相位因子、量子点 - MBS耦合以及量子点能级的紧密依赖。此外,在零偏置极限下,法诺因子的大小及其关系可以通过干涉特性有效地改变。我们认为量子干涉对于操纵MBSs的安德列夫反射行为很重要。
