Abstract: We discuss electric transport through a point contact which bridges Majorana fermion modes appearing at edges of two helical superconductors. The contents focus on the effects of interference and interaction unique to the Majorana fermions and the role of spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Besides the Josephson current, the quasiparticle conductance depends sensitively on the phase difference and relative helicity between the two superconductors. The interaction among the Majorana fermions causes the power-law temperature dependences of conductance for various tunneling channels. Especially, in the presence of SOI, the conductance always increases as the temperature is lowered.
