Abstract
We study the electronic transport of heterojunctions made of chiral topological superconductors (TSCs) with chiral Majorana fermion modes and quantum Hall insulators (QHIs) with integer Chern number . In the weak disorder regime, we show the two-terminal conductance of a QHI-TSC-QHI junction is generically non-quantized, but obeys a certain distribution determined by and , which is induced by random SO() rotations of chiral Majorana fermion mode basis on the TSC edges. Oppositely, in the strong disorder regime, tends to be a quantized value. We conclude with a brief discussion on the fractionally quantized thermal conductances of the junction.
