Fano-Majorana effect and bound states in the continuum on a crossbar-shaped quantum dot hybrid structure

We investigate transport properties through a crossbar-shaped structure formed by a quantum dot (QD) coupled to two normal leads and embedded between two one-dimensional topological superconductors (TSCs). Each TSC hosts Majorana bound states (MBSs) at its ends, which can interact between them with an effective coupling strength. We find a signature of bound states in continuum (BIC) in the MBSs spectral function. By allowing finite inter MBSs coupling, BICs splitting is observed and shows projection in transmission for asymmetric coupling case as cuasi-BICs. As a consequence, we also show that the Fano effect, arising from interference phenomena between MBSs hybridization trough QD, is observed with a half-integer amplitude modulation. We believe our findings can help to better understand the properties of MBSs and their interplay with QDs.
