Unconventional Josephson signatures of Majorana bound states
  A junction between two topological superconductors containing a pair of Majorana fermions exhibits a `fractional' Josephson effect, $4\pi$ periodic in the superconductors' phase difference. An additional fractional Josephson effect, however, arises when the Majoranas are spatially separated by a superconducting barrier. This new term gives rise to a set of Shapiro steps which are essentially absent without Majorana modes and therefore provides a unique signature for these exotic states.
