We show that an Anderson Hamiltonian describing a quantum dot connected to multiple leads is integrable. A general expression for the non-linear conductance is obtained by combining the Bethe ansatz exact solution with Landauer-B\"uttiker…
A pioneering experiment [E. Schuster, E. Buks, M. Heiblum, D. Mahalu, V. Umansky, and Hadas Shtrikman, Nature 385, 417 (1997)] reported the measurement of the transmission phase of an electron traversing a quantum dot and found the…
Luttinger liquid theory describes one-dimensional electron systems in terms of non-interacting bosonic excitations. In this approximation thermal excitations are decoupled from the current flowing through a quantum wire, and the conductance…
Within the framework of boundary conformal field theory, we evaluate the conductance of stable fixed points of junctions of two and three quantum wires with different Luttinger parameters. For two wires, the physical properties are governed…
We use the numerical renormalization group method to investigate the spectral properties of a single-impurity Anderson model with a gap {\delta} across the Fermi level in the conduction-electron spectrum. For any finite {\delta} > 0, at…
When a 2D superconductor is subjected to a strong in-plane magnetic field, Zeeman polarization of the Fermi surface can give rise to inhomogeneous FFLO order with a spatially modulated gap. Further increase of the magnetic field eventually…

n this article we study the Friedel phase of the electron transport in two different systems of quantum dots which exhibit bound states in the continuum (BIC). The Friedel phase jumps abruptly in the energies of the BICs, which is…
The fluctuation behavior of triple quantum dots (TQDs) has, so far, largely focused on current cumulants in the long-time limit via full counting statistics. Given that (TQDs) are non-trivial open quantum systems with many interesting…
In a local Fermi liquid (LFL), we show that there is a line of weak first order phase transitions between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases due to purely quantum fluctuations. We predict that an instability towards superconductivity…
The transmission phase through a quantum dot with few electrons shows a complex, non-universal behavior. Here we combine configuration-interaction calculations ---treating rigorously Coulomb interaction--- and the Friedel sum rule to…

Tunneling conductance through two quantum dots, which are connected in series to left and right leads, is calculated by using the numerical renormalization group method. As the hopping between the dots increases from very small value, the…
