contents The recent realization of a two-site Kitaev chain featuring "poor man's Majorana" states demonstrates a path forward in the field of topological superconductivity. Harnessing the potential of these states for quantum information processing, however, requires increasing their robustness to external perturbations. Here, we form a two-site Kitaev chain using proximitized quantum dots hosting Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states. The strong hybridization between such states and the superconductor enables the creation of poor man's Majorana states with a gap larger than $70 \mathrm{~μeV}$. It also greatly reduces the charge dispersion compared to Kitaev chains made with non-proximitized quantum dots. The large gap and reduced sensitivity to charge fluctuations will benefit qubit manipulation and demonstration of non-abelian physics using poor man's Majorana states.
