  We study the quasiparticle states and nonlocal correlations of a hybrid
structure, comprising two quantum dots interconnected through a short-length
topological superconducting nanowire hosting overlaping Majorana modes. We show
that the hybridization between different components of this setup gives rise to
the emergence of molecular states, which are responsible for nonlocal
correlations. We inspect the resulting energy structure, focusing on the
inter-dependence between the quasiparticles of individual quantum dots. We
predict the existence of nonlocal effects, which could be accessed and probed
by crossed Andreev reflection spectroscopy. Our study would be relevant to a
recent experimental realization of the minimal Kitaev model [T. Dvir et al.,
Nature 614, 445 (2023)], by considering its hybrid structure with side-attached
quantum dots.
