• splitting between two Majorana bound states. Keywords: Andreev bound state; Majorana bound state; nonlocal quantum correlation; quantum dot; spatial Rabi oscillation; Introduction Majorana bound states are exotic non-Abelian quasiparticles in topological superconductors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11

• the self-conjugateness of the Majorana bound states. For comparison, we show the results when the Majorana bound state is replaced by an Andreev bound state as shown in Figure 1b. We find that the two Rabi frequencies at the different resonant driving energies are now different. We also investigate
