Abstract

Among the exotic and yet unobserved features of multi-channel Kondo impurity models is their sub-unitary single electron scattering. In the two-channel Kondo model, for example, an incoming electron is fully scattered into a many-body excitation such that the single particle Green function vanishes. Here we propose to directly observe these features in a charge-Kondo device encapsulated in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer - within a device already studied in Ref.[1]. We provide detailed predictions for the visibility and phase of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations depending on the number of coupled channels and the asymmetry of their couplings.
