Brandon Alexander,

It's quite surprising that a professional in psychology, governmental science and cybersecurity knows about Majorana zero modes, part of quantum physics, which is quite impressive. Nevertheless, it's quite a general answer to the question.

This answer is a survey of possible distinguishing figures, such as non-locality, quantization, spin texture, etc. It's more of a general overview than a sharp response to the tunneling spectroscopy question:

• It lists every known diagnostic, including braiding and simulations, which goes beyond the domains of tunneling spectroscopy.
• It doesn't explain how ABSs mimic zero-bias peaks in tunneling or why MZMs yield a quantized, non-split peak.
• Quantized 2e^2/h isn't observed directly as in practice, disorder, soft gaps, and finite temperature smear conductance.
• Saying “probe both ends” is right, but doesn’t mention that trivial ABSs can also appear correlated in short wires, complicating interpretation.

Note: I appreciate using AI for context and automating research, but for framing responses, creative direction and in general, the formulation of conjectures or arguments is better when it's human, as AI's generate errors like the ones in this response.

Brandon Alexander,

Deleting your response is not the solution. My reply is still there, so it's quite evident what's happening. This has happened before, and being a bystander of this act, I advice you to try learning more about the topic and coming back with an answer that's actually yours.
