We investigate a tunable two-impurity Kondo system in a strongly correlated carbon nanotube double quantum dot, accessing the full range of charge regimes. In the regime where both dots contain an unpaired electron, the system approaches the two-impurity Kondo model. At zero magnetic field the interdot coupling disrupts the Kondo physics and a local singlet state arises, but we are able to tune the crossover to a Kondo screened phase by application of a magnetic field. All results show good agreement with a numerical renormalization group study of the device.

The Andreev transport properties of double quantum dot based Cooper pair splitters with one superconducting and two normal leads are studied theoretically in the Kondo regime. The influence of the superconducting pairing correlations on the local den
sity of states, Andreev transmission coefficient and Cooper pair splitting efficiency is thoroughly analyzed. It is shown that finite superconducting pairing potential quickly suppresses the SU(2) Kondo effect, which can however reemerge for relatively large values of coupling to superconductor. In the SU(4) Kondo regime, a crossover from the SU(4) to the SU(2) Kondo state is found as the coupling to superconductor is enhanced. The analysis is performed by means of the density-matrix numerical renormalization group method.
A top-gated single wall carbon nanotube is used to define three coupled quantum dots in series between two electrodes. The additional electron number on each quantum dot is controlled by top-gate voltages allowing for current measurements of single,
double and triple quantum dot stability diagrams. Simulations using a capacitor model including tunnel coupling between neighboring dots captures the observed behavior with good agreement. Furthermore, anti-crossings between indirectly coupled levels and higher order cotunneling are discussed.
Optical and electronic phenomena in solids arise from the behaviour of electrons and holes (unoccupied states in a filled electron sea). Electron-hole symmetry can often be invoked as a simplifying description, which states that electrons with energy
above the Fermi sea behave the same as holes below the Fermi energy. In semiconductors, however, electron-hole symmetry is generally absent since the energy band structure of the conduction band differs from the valence band. Here we report on measurements of the discrete, quantized-energy spectrum of electrons and holes in a semiconducting carbon nanotube. Through a gate, an individual nanotube is filled controllably with a precise number of either electrons or holes, starting from one. The discrete excitation spectrum for a nanotube with N holes is strikingly similar to the corresponding spectrum for N electrons. This observation of near perfect electron-hole symmetry demonstrates for the first time that a semiconducting nanotube can be free of charged impurities, even in the limit of few-electrons or holes. We furthermore find an anomalously small Zeeman spin splitting and an excitation spectrum indicating strong electron-electron interactions.
We calculate the nonequilibrium conductance of a system of two capacitively coupled quantum dots, each one connected to its own pair of conducting leads. The system has been used recently to perform pseudospin spectroscopy by controlling independentl
y the voltages of the four leads. The pseudospin is defined by the orbital occupation of one or the other dot. Starting from the SU(4) symmetric point of spin and pseudospin degeneracy in the Kondo regime, for an odd number of electrons in the system, we show how the conductance through each dot varies as the symmetry is reduced to SU(2) by a pseudo-Zeeman splitting, and as bias voltages are applied to any of the dots. We analize the expected behavior of the system in general, and predict characteristic fingerprint features of the SU(4) to SU(2) crossover that have not been observed so far.
The current emission noise of a carbon nanotube quantum dot in the Kondo regime is measured at frequencies $ u$ of the order or higher than the frequency associated with the Kondo effect $k_B T_K/h$, with $T_K$ the Kondo temperature. The carbon nanot
ube is coupled via an on-chip resonant circuit to a quantum noise detector, a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction. We find for $h u approx k_B T_K$ a Kondo effect related singularity at a voltage bias $eV approx h u $, and a strong reduction of this singularity for $h u approx 3 k_B T_K$, in good agreement with theory. Our experiment constitutes a new original tool for the investigation of the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body phenomena in nanoscale devices.
