Abstract

A chiral superconductor carries chiral Majorana modes along its boundary, and the integer that counts them fixes everything that follows, yet that integer has never been measured together with a local parity observable on one object. Proximitized one-dimensional wires read fermion parity rapidly but diagnose bulk topology through a separate protocol. Here we show that a reconfigurable domain wall between regions of opposite Chern number in an intrinsic two-dimensional chiral superconductor performs both functions. Opened to its contacts the wall is a ballistic channel whose quantized thermal conductance counts its Majorana modes; closed, the same wall is a Fabry--Pérot resonator whose spectrum shifts by half a level spacing when the parity of the enclosed vortices changes, giving a two-level heat conductance. We derive the exact transmission, the elastic heat full counting statistics, and a theorem showing that linear-response heat scattering of a fixed quadratic problem resolves vortex parity but not the fusion channel of well-separated cores. An outside vortex hybridized with the wall is an intrinsic false positive; temperature, geometry and a finite-bias mean--noise test separates it. Rhombohedral-graphene parameters place submicron loops in the resolved regime at millikelvin temperatures, where chiral-domain reconfiguration and noise thermometry are both established.
