Scientific paper

The search for Majorana fermions in p-wave paired fermionic systems has recently moved to the forefront of condensed-matter research. Here we propose an alternative route and show theoretically that Majorana modes can be realized and probed in a driven-dissipative system of strongly correlated photons consisting of a chain of tunnel-coupled cavities, where p-wave pairing effectively arises from the interplay between strong on-site interactions and two-photon parametric driving. Cross-correlation measurements carried out at the ends of the chain would reveal a strong photon bunching signature, demonstrating the nonlocal nature of these photonic Majorana modes.
