Outline of Final Research Achievements

We discuss the phase degrees of freedom in superconducting order parameters in two parallel Kitaev chains. Majorana states locating at the ends of system give anomalous Josephson coupling different from usual coupling at the intermediate region of the system. Their competition results in spatially varying configuration of the phase along the system. Although the coupling between Majorana states give finite energy, the tunneling between different configuration of the phase remedies the degeneracy in the ground states of the system.
A skyrmion coupled to superconductor gives quasi-bound states around the skyrmion core. The states are similar to Shiba state, which is a bound state arising around single magnetic moment in superconductor, but have different behavior in their wave function distribution. They decay in power low contrasted to the exponential decay of a Shiba state.
