Abstract
We show that a strongly interacting chain of Majorana zero modes exhibits a supersymmetric quantum critical point corresponding to the tricritical Ising model, which separates a critical phase in the Ising universality class from a supersymmetric massive phase. We verify our predictions with numerical density-matrix-renormalization-group computations and determine the consequences for tunnelling experiments.
