Uniform or staggered fluxes are applied to drive quantum phase transitions in the two-leg Kitaev ladder topological superconductor system.
Flux-dependent phase diagram is derived by use of symmetry analysis and calculation of topological invariants.
The number of Majorana zero energy states can be manipulated by simply tuning uniform or staggered fluxes.
Energy spectrum, entanglement spectrum and local density of states are used to numerically verify the phase transitions.
