Abstract

We consider a p-wave superconducting nanowire weakly coupled to two metallic rings. At the two interfaces between the nanowire and the metallic rings the pairing order parameter vanishes, as a result two zero-mode Majorana fermions appear. The two metallic rings are pierced by external magnetic fluxes. By determining the correlation between the persistent currents in the two rings, we identify the special features of Majorana fermions, such as nonlocality, which can be experimentally observed in this setup.
