Unveiling Signatures of Topological Phases in Open Kitaev Chains and Ladders

In this work, the general problem of the characterization of the topological phase of an open quantum system is addressed. In particular, we study the topological properties of Kitaev chains and ladders under the perturbing effect of a current flux injected into the system using an external normal l...
