Abstract

We show that weak antilocalization by disorder competes with resonant Andreev reflection from a Majorana zero mode to produce a zerovoltage conductance peak of order e^2/h in a superconducting nanowire. The phase conjugation needed for quantum interference to survive a disorder average is provided by particle–hole symmetry—in the absence of timereversal symmetry and without requiring a topologically nontrivial phase. We identify methods of distinguishing the Majorana resonance from the weak antilocalization effect.
