  The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model describes a collection of randomly
interacting Majorana fermions that exhibits profound connections to quantum
chaos and black holes. We propose a solid-state implementation based on a
quantum dot coupled to an array of topological superconducting wires hosting
Majorana zero modes. Interactions and disorder intrinsic to the dot mediate the
desired random Majorana couplings, while an approximate symmetry suppresses
additional unwanted terms. We use random matrix theory and numerics to show
that our setup emulates the SYK model (up to corrections that we quantify) and
discuss experimental signatures.
