Shot noise, originating from the discrete nature of electric charge, is generated by scattering
processes. Shot-noise measurements have revealed microscopic charge dynamics in …

We report resonant multiple Andreev reflections in a multiwall carbon nanotube quantum dot
coupled to superconducting leads. The position and magnitude of the subharmonic gap …

We propose theoretically a Josephson diode consisting of the conventional superconductors

Mutually interacting magnetic atoms coupled to a superconductor have gained enormous
interest due to their potential for the realization of topological superconductivity. Individual …

We study competition between the Kondo effect and superconductivity in a single self-
assembled InAs quantum dot contacted with Al lateral electrodes. Because of Kondo …

We present a real-time diagrammatic theory for transport through interacting quantum dots
tunnel coupled to normal and superconducting leads. Our formulation describes both the …
