Distinguishing Majorana and quasi-Majorana bound states in a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowire with inhomogeneous potential barriers

A semiconductor-superconductor hybrid nanowire with a spatially inhomogeneous potential can host partially separated quasi-Majorana bound states (quasi-MBSs). In this work, we consider a two-lead (three-terminal) setup of transport with two different potential barriers and find that for a Majorana n...
