Multichannel Generalization of Kitaev’s Majorana End States and a Practical Route to Realize Them in Thin Films

The ends of one-dimensional p+ip superconductors have long been predicted to possess localized Majorana fermion modes [A. Kitaev, arXiv:cond-mat/0010440]. We show that Majorana end states are robust beyond the strict 1D single-channel limit, so long as the sample width is not much larger than the su...
