We report our study of the I-V curves in the transport through the quantum dot when an additional quantum dot lying in the Kondo regime is side-connected to it. Due to the Kondo scattering off the effective spin on a side-connected quantum…
Decoherence originates from the leakage of quantum information into external degrees of freedom. For a qubit the two main decoherence channels are relaxation and dephasing. Here, we report an experiment on a superconducting qubit where we…

We present here a simple qualitative model that interpolates between the high and low temperature properties of quasi-1D conductors. At high temperatures we argue that transport is governed by inelastic scattering whereas at low…
