RESUMO
We investigate the properties of a quantum dot embedded between the normal and superconducting leads which is additionally side-attached to the topological superconducting nanowire, hosting the Majorana modes. This setup enables formation of the trivial (finite-energy) bound states induced in the quantum dot through the superconducting proximity effect, coexisting/competing with the topological (zero-energy) mode transmitted from the topological superconductor. We analyze their interplay, focusing on a role played by the external magnetic field. To distinguish between these bound states we analyze the qualitative and quantitative features manifested in the subgap charge tunneling originating under nonequilibrium conditions from the Andreev (particle to hole) scattering processes.
