A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio between CAR and ECT can…

We study the electron transport through the quantum dot coupled to the normal metal and BCS-like superconductor (N - QD - S) in the presence of the Kondo effect and Andreev scattering. The system is described by the single impurity Anderson…

The conductance of disordered wires with symplectic symmetry is studied by the supersymmetric field theory. Special attention is focused on the case where the number of conducting channels is odd. Such a situation can be realized in…

We study the sub-gap spectrum and the transport properties of a double quantum dot coupled to metallic and superconducting leads. The coupling of both quantum dots to the superconducting lead induces a non-local pairing in both quantum dots…

We derive a microscopic transport theory of multiterminal hybrid structures in which a superconductor is connected to several spin-polarized electrodes. We discuss the non-perturbative physics of extended contacts, and show that it can be…

In this paper, we investigate the transport properties of spinful electrons tunnel-coupled to a finite-length Majorana nanowire on one end which is further tunnel-coupled to a quantum dot (QD) at the other end. Using a full counting…

Semiconducting nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling in the presence of induced superconductivity and ferromagnetism can support Majorana zero modes. We study the pumping due to the precession of the magnetization in single-subband…

We experimentally investigate Andreev bound states (ABSs) in a carbon nanotube quantum dot (QD) connected to a superconducting Nb lead (S). A weakly coupled normal metal contact acts as a tunnel probe that measures the energy dispersion of…

Recent transport experiments in spatially modulated quasi-1D structures created on top of LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interfaces have revealed some interesting features, including phenomena conspicuously absent without the modulation. In this work,…

Analytic predictions for resonant transport in three generic structures are presented. For a structure comprising a normal (N) contact - normal dot (NDOT) - superconducting (S) contact, we predict that finite voltage, differential…

We fabricated strongly confined Schottky-gated quantum point contacts by etching Si/SiGe heterostructures and observed intriguing conductance quantization in units of approximately 1e2/h. Non-linear conductance measurements were performed…

Quantum dots are gate-defined within InSb nanowires, in proximity to NbTiN superconducting contacts. As the coupling between the dot and the superconductor is increased, the odd-parity occupations become non-discernible (erased) both above…

We study the interacting quantum dot coupled to the normal and superconducting leads by means of a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method in the Keldysh-Nambu formalism. Deducing the steady current through the quantum dot under a finite…

When coupling a superconductor to a normal conducting region the physical properties of the system are highly affected by the superconductor. We will investigate the effect of one or two superconductors on the conductance of a ballistic…

We study theoretically electronic transport through a normal metal-- superconductor (NS) interface and show that more than one conductance may be defined, depending on the pair of chemical potentials whose difference one chooses to relate…

We study Andreev bound states in hybrid InAs-Al nanowire devices. The energy of these states can be tuned to zero by gate voltage or magnetic field, revealing large zero bias peaks (ZBPs) near 2e^2/h in tunneling conductance. Probing these…

We report phase coherent electron transport in PbTe nanowire networks with a loop geometry. Magneto-conductance shows Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations with periods of $h/e$ and $h/2e$ in flux. The amplitude of $h/2e$ oscillations is enhanced…

We analyze the spectral density of a single level quantum dot coupled to superconducting leads focusing on the Andreev states appearing within the superconducting gap. We use two complementary approaches: the numerical renormalization group…

We have formed superconducting contacts in which Cooper pairs incident from a thick In layer must move through a thin Nb layer to reach a semiconductor, either InAs or low temperature grown (LTG) GaAs. The effect of pair tunneling through…

By calculating the differential tunneling conductance spectra from the two ends of a Majorana nanowire with a quantum dot embedded at one end, we establish that a careful examination of the nonlocal correlations of the zero bias conductance…
