We present here a theory of Majorana excitons, photo-excited conduction electron-valence band hole pairs, interacting with Majorana Fermions in a Kitaev chain of semiconductor quantum dots embedded in a nanowire. Using analytical tools and exact diagonalization methods, we identify the presence of Majorana zero modes in the nanowire absorption spectra.
Keywords: Majorana and bond Fermions; Majorana zero mode; electron-electron interactions; excitons; light–matter interaction; semiconductor quantum dots; topological superconductor.
