Quantum phase transitions are ubiquitous in many exotic behaviors of strongly-correlated materials. However the microscopic complexity impedes their quantitative understanding. Here, we observe thoroughly and comprehend the rich…

Motivated by recent experiments with proximitized nanowires, we study a mesoscopic s-wave superconductor connected via point contacts to normal-state leads. We demonstrate that at energies below the charging energy the system is described…

The low temperature electrical conductance through correlated quantum dots provides a sensitive probe of the physics (e.g., of Fermi-liquid vs non-Fermi-liquid behavior) of such systems. Here, we investigate the role of level asymmetry…

Recently, the issue of whether the Kondo problem in quantum dots at large bias is a weak-coupling problem or not has been raised. In this paper, we revisit this problem by carefully analyzing a corresponding model in the solvable limit --…

In a recent work [L. Merker, S. Kirchner, E. Munoz, and T. A. Costi, Phys. Rev. B 87, 165132 (2013)], the authors compared results of numerical renormalization group and a perturbative approach for the dependence on temperature T and…

The noncrossing approximation (NCA) is generalized to the multi-channel Kondo-spin Hamiltonian with arbitrary anisotropic exchange couplings and an external magnetic field, and applied -- in the framework of Matveev's mapping -- to the…

The critical breakdown of a one-dimensional quantum magnet with long-range interactions is studied by investigating the high-field polarized phase of the anisotropic XY model in a transverse field for the ferro- and antiferromagnetic case.…

A strong-to-weak-coupling duality is established for the nonequilibrium interacting resonant-level model, describing tunneling through a single spinless level, capacitively coupled to two leads by a contact interaction. For large capacitive…

We examine a quantum dot with $N_{\rm dot}$ levels which is strongly coupled to leads for varying number of channels $N$ in the leads. It is shown both analytically and numerically that for strong couplings between the dot and the leads, at…

We predict that an anisotropic charge Kondo effect appears in a triple quantum dot, when the system has two-fold degenerate ground states of (1,1,0) and (0,0,1) charge configurations. Using bosonization and refermionization methods, we find…

We consider a multiple tunneling process into a quantum dot capacitively coupled to a dissipative environment. The problem is mapped onto an anisotropic Kondo model in its Coulomb gas representation. The tunneling barrier resistance and the…

A generalized collision model is developed to investigate coherent charging a single quantum battery by repeated interactions with many-atom large spins, where collective atom operators are adopted and the battery is modeled by a uniform…

The charging of a quantum box connected to a lead by a single-mode point contact is solved for arbitrary temperatures, tunneling amplitudes, and gate voltages, using a variant of Wilson's numerical renormalization group. The charge inside…

We investigate the Kondo effect in a double-quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-Qubit. It is shown that due to this capacitive coupling, the bare inter-dot repulsive interaction in the double-quantum-dot is effectively…

We investigate the charge fluctuations of a large quantum dot coupled to a two-dimensional electron gas via a quantum point contact following the work of Matveev. We limit our discussion to the case where exactly two channels enter the dot…

Holographic methods are used to investigate the low temperature limit, including quantum critical behavior, of strongly coupled 4-dimensional gauge theories in the presence of an external magnetic field, and finite charge density. In…

The ability to control electronic states at the nanoscale has contributed to our modern understanding of condensed matter. In particular, quantum dot circuits represent model systems for the study of strong electronic correlations,…

For a quantum dot (QD) in the intermediate regime between integrable and fully chaotic, the widths of single-particle levels naturally differ by orders of magnitude. In particular, the width of one strongly coupled level may be larger than…

Charge sensing in quantum-dot structures is studied by an exactly solvable reduced model and numerical density-matrix renormalization group methods. Charge sensing is characterized by the repeated cycling of the occupation of…

We investigate two equivalent, capacitively coupled semiconducting quantum dots, each coupled to its own lead, in a regime where there are two electrons on the double dot. With increasing interdot coupling a rich range of behavior is…
