Chiral Majorana interference as a source of quantum entanglement

Description

Two-particle Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry with chiral Majorana modes produces maximally entangled electron-hole pairs. We promote the electron-hole quantum number to an interferometric degree of freedom and complete the set of linear tools for single- and two-particle interferometry by introducing a key phase gate that, combined with a Mach-Zehnder, allows full electron-hole rotations. By considering entanglement witnesses built on current cross-correlation measurements, we find that the possibility of independent local-channel rotations in the electron-hole subspace leads to a significant boost of the entanglement detection power.
