The Kitaev superconducting chain is a model of spinless fermions with triplet-like superconductivity. It has raised interest since for some values of its parameters it presents a non-trivial topological phase that host Majorana fermions.…

We study a superconducting Kitaev ring pierced by a magnetic flux, with and without disorder, in a quantum ring configuration, and in a rf-SQUID one, where a weak link is present. In the rf-SQUID configuration, in the topological phase, the…
