We study the effect of a dot-lead interaction on transport through a quantum dot hybridized to two semi-infinite Luttinger-liquid leads. A bosonization approach is applied to treat the interaction between charge fluctuations on the dot and…

We study charge entanglement in two Coulomb-coupled double quantum dots in thermal equilibrium and under stationary non-equilibrium transport conditions. In the transport regime, the entanglement exhibits a clear switching threshold and…

Non-equilibrium Green's function technique has been used to calculate spin-dependent electronic transport through a quantum dot in the Kondo regime. The dot is described by the Anderson Hamiltonian and is coupled either symmetrically or…

We measure superfluid transport of strongly interacting fermionic lithium atoms through a quantum point contact with local, spin-dependent particle loss. We observe that the characteristic non-Ohmic superfluid transport enabled by…

We consider electron transport in a model of a spinless superconductor described by a Kitaev type lattice Hamiltonian where the electron interactions are modelled through a superconducting pairing term. The superconductor is sandwiched…

Electron transport through a double quantum dot system is studied with taking into account electron-phonon interaction. The Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function formalism is used to compute the current and transmission coefficient of the…

Electronic states and transport phenomena in semiconductor quantum dots are studied theoretically. Taking account of the electron-electron Coulomb interaction by the exact diagonalization method, the ground state and low-lying excited…

The Josephson transport and the electronic properties of a quantum dot characterized by a single level coupled to superconducting leads is analyzed. Different approximations are used and compared: the mean field approximation, the second…

We study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot which is coupled to ferromagnetic leads and analyse its properties as a function of the spin polarization of the leads. Based on a scaling approach we predict that for parallel alignment of the…

Double quantum dots can provide an experimental realization of the 2 impurity Kondo model which exhibits a non-Fermi liquid quantum critical point (QCP) at a special value of its parameters. We generalize our recent study of double quantum…

We study the transport properties of a double quantum dot (DQD) molecule at zero and at finite temperature. The properties of the zero temperature conductance depends on whether the level attraction between the symmetric and antisymmetric…

In this article we review the state of the art on the transport properties of quantum dot systems connected to superconducting and normal electrodes. The review is mainly focused on the theoretical achievements although a summary of the…

We study the equilibrium properties of a quantum dot connected to a bulk lead by a single-mode quantum point contact. The ground state energy and other thermodynamic characteristics of the grain show periodic dependence on the gate voltage…

The quantum dot asymmetrically coupled to the external leads has been analysed theoretically by means of the equation of motion (EOM) technique and the non-crossing approximation (NCA). The system has been described by the single impurity…

We study the current-voltage characteristics of a superconducting junction with particle losses at the contacts. We adopt the Keldysh formalism to compute the steady-state current for varying transmission of the contact. In the low…

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…

We consider a strongly interacting quantum dot connected to two leads held at quite different temperatures. Our aim is to study the behavior of the Kondo effect in the presence of large thermal biases. We use three different approaches,…

We examine the voltage V and magnetic field B dependent Andreev conductance of a chaotic quantum dot coupled via point contacts to a normal metal and a superconductor. In the case where the contact to the superconductor dominates, we find…

We present a general theory of the superconductive proximity effect in disordered normal--superconducting (N-S) structures, based on the recently developed Keldysh action approach. In the case of the absence of interaction in the normal…

Quantum dots connected to larger systems containing a continuum of states like charge reservoirs allow the theoretical study of many-body effects such as the Coulomb blockade and the Kondo effect. Here, we analyze the nonequilibrium Kondo…
