Coulomb blockade in fractional topological superconductors

Abstract

We study charge transport through a floating mesoscopic superconductor coupled to counterpropagating fractional quantum Hall edges at filling fraction $\ensuremath{\nu}=2/3$. We consider a superconducting island with finite charging energy and investigate its effect on transport through the device. We calculate conductance through such a system as a function of temperature and gate voltage applied to the superconducting island. We show that transport is strongly affected by the presence of parafermionic zero modes, leading at zero temperature to a zero-bias conductance quantized in units of $\ensuremath{\nu}{e}2/h$ independent of the applied gate voltage.
