The time-dependent non-crossing approximation is used to study the transient current in a single electron transistor attached asymmetrically to two leads following a sudden change in the energy of the dot level. We show that for asymmetric coupling, sharp features in the density of states of the leads can induce oscillations in the current through the dot. These oscillations persist to much longer timescales than the timescale for charge fluctuations. The amplitude of the oscillations increases as the temperature or source-drain bias across the dot is reduced and saturates for values below the Kondo temperature. We discuss the microscopic origin of these oscillations and comment on the possibility for their experimental detection.

We study the low temperature properties of the differential response of the current to a temperature gradient at finite voltage in a single level quantum dot including electron-electron interaction, non-symmetric couplings to the leads and non-linear
effects. The calculated response is significantly enhanced in setups with large asymmetries between the tunnel couplings. In the investigated range of voltages and temperatures with corresponding energies up to several times the Kondo energy scale, the maximum response is enhanced nearly an order of magnitude with respect to symmetric coupling to the leads.
We study the transient phenomena appearing in a subgap region of the double quantum dot coupled in series between the superconducting and normal metallic leads, focusing on the development of the superconducting proximity effect. For the uncorrelated
nanostructure we derive explicit expressions of the time-dependent occupancies in both quantum dots, charge currents, and electron pairing induced on individual dots and between them. We show that the initial configurations substantially affect the dynamical processes, in which the in-gap bound states emerge upon coupling the double quantum dot to superconducting reservoir. In particular, the superconducting proximity effect would be temporarily blocked whenever the quantum dots are initially singly occupied. Such {it triplet}/{it Andreev blockade} has been recently reported experimentally for double quantum dots embedded in the Josephson [D. Bouman et al., Phys. Rev. B 102, 220505 (2020)] and Andreev [P. Zhang et al., arXiv:2102.03283 (2021)] junctions. We also address the role of correlation effects within the lowest-order decoupling scheme and by the time-dependent numerical renormalization group calculations. Competition of the repulsive Coulomb interactions with the superconducting proximity effect leads to renormalization of the in-gap quasiparticles, speeding up the quantum oscillations and narrowing a region of transient phenomena, whereas the dynamical Andreev blockade is well pronounced in the weak inter-dot coupling limit. We propose feasible methods for detecting the characteristic time-scales that could be observable by the Andreev spectroscopy.
We study the spectral density of electrons rho in an interacting quantum dot (QD) with a hybridization lambda to a non-interacting QD, which in turn is coupled to a non-interacting conduction band. The system corresponds to an impurity Anderson model
in which the conduction band has a Lorentzian density of states of width Delta2. We solved the model using perturbation theory in the Coulomb repulsion U (PTU) up to second order and a slave-boson mean-field approximation (SBMFA). The PTU works surprisingly well near the exactly solvable limit Delta2 -> 0. For fixed U and large enough lambda or small enough Delta2, the Kondo peak in rho(omega) splits into two peaks. This splitting can be understood in terms of weakly interacting quasiparticles. Before the splitting takes place the universal properties of the model in the Kondo regime are lost. Using the SBMFA, simple analytical expressions for the occurrence of split peaks are obtained. For small or moderate Delta2, the side bands of rho(omega) have the form of narrow resonances, that were missed in previous studies using the numerical renormalization group. This technique also has shortcomings for describing properly the split Kondo peaks. As the temperature is increased, the intensity of the split Kondo peaks decreases, but it is not completely suppressed at high temperatures.
We study a model of a quantum dot coupled to a quantum Hall edge of the Laughlin state, taking into account short-range interactions between the dot and the edge. This system has been studied experimentally in electron quantum optics in the context o
f single particle sources. We consider driving the dot out of equilibrium by a time-dependent bias voltage. We calculate the resulting current on the edge by applying the Kubo formula to the bosonized Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian of this system can also be mapped to the spin-boson model and in this picture, the current can be perturbatively calculated using the non-interacting blip approximation (NIBA). We show that both methods of solution are in fact equivalent. We present numerics demonstrating that the perturbative approaches capture the essential physics at early times, although they fail to capture the charge quantization (or lack thereof) in the current pulses integrated over long times.
We study the behaviour of the magnetization in a half-metallic ferromagnet/nonmagnetic insulator/ferromagnetic metal/paramagnetic metal (FM1/NI/FM2/PM) tunnel junction. It is calculated self-consistently within the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism. T
he magnetic regions are treated as band ferromagnets and are described by the single-band Hubbard model. We developed a nonequilibrium spectral density approach to solve the Hubbard model approximately in the switching magnet. By applying a voltage to the junction it is possible to switch between antiparallel (AP) and parallel (P) alignment of the magnetizations of the two ferromagnets. The transition from AP to P occurs for positive voltages while the inverse transition from P to AP can be induced by negative voltages only. This behaviour is in agreement with the Slonczewski model of current-induced switching and appears self-consistently within the model, i.e. without using half-classical methods like the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
