Abstract

We study the current driven by an applied voltage as a function of time through the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model when coupled to two normal or superconducting reservoirs. For normal leads, in the strong coupling limit and for small bias, the current through the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, described by a quartic interaction term, reaches monotonically the stationarity, in contrast to the case of a disordered quadratic interaction where the current has a peak before reaching the stationary phase. For superconducting leads the currents have oscillations whose frequencies are determined by the gap and the voltage, and are suppressed in the strong coupling limit. Moreover, due to different short time scales between the normal and the oscillating part of the superconducting current, a peak appears before reaching the stationarity.
