title: Emergent Supersymmetry from Strongly Interacting Majorana Zero Modes.
abstract: We show that a strongly interacting chain of Majorana zero modes exhibits a supersymmetric quantum critical point corresponding to the c=7/10 tricritical Ising model, which separates a critical phase in the Ising universality class from a supersymmetric massive phase. We verify our predictions with numerical density-matrix-renormalization-group computations and determine the consequences for tunneling experiments.
