We experimentally demonstrate that Majorana-like bound states (MLBSs) canoccur in quasi-one-dimensional metamaterials, analogous to Majorana zero modes(MZM) in the Kitaev chain. In a mechanical spinner ladder system, we observe atopological phase transition and spectral-gap-protected edge MLBSs. Wecharacterize the decaying and oscillatory nature of these MLBS pairs and theirphase-dependent hybridization. It is shown that the hybridization can be tunedto yield the analogue of parity switching in MZMs, a key element of topologicalqubits. We find strong agreements with theory.
