Subband-mixing signatures in Andreev-reflection-enhanced conductance of a quantum point contactMichal Nowak and •Michael Wimmer — QuTech and Kavli institute of nanoscience, TU Delft, Netherlands

Andreev reflection leads enhancement of the conductance in a quantum point contact, doubling the conductance plateaus [1]. Recent experiments [2, 3] found evidence for this Andreev enhancement, but showed additional, pronounced conductance dips before the transition to the next plateau, at odds with the conductance doubling of [1].

Here, we show that scattering between subbands due to weak disorder can fully explain these observations. This allows to give an estimate for the mean free path in Majorana devices [3].
