It is shown that the rate limiting time constant for the formation of the Kondo state in a quantum dot can be extracted analytically from known perturbation theoretic results. The prediction obtained is verified via numerical simulations in the noncrossing approximation.

Using the time-dependent non-crossing approximation, we calculate the transient response of the current through a quantum dot subject to a finite bias when the dot level is moved suddenly into a regime where the Kondo effect is present. After an init ial small but rapid response, the time-dependent conductance is a universal function of the temperature, bias, and inverse time, all expressed in units of the Kondo temperature. Two timescales emerge: the first is the time to reach a quasi-metastable point where the Kondo resonance is formed as a broad structure of half-width of the order of the bias; the second is the longer time required for the narrower split peak structure to emerge from the previous structure and to become fully formed. The first time can be measured by the gross rise time of the conductance, which does not substantially change later while the split peaks are forming. The second time characterizes the decay rate of the small split Kondo peak (SKP) oscillations in the conductance, which may provide a method of experimental access to it. This latter timescale is accessible via linear response from the steady stateand appears to be related to the scale identified in that manner [A. Rosch, J. Kroha, and P. Wolfle, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 156802 (2001)].
We apply a Gutzwiller-like variational technique to study Josephson conduction across a quantum dot with an odd number of electrons connected to two superconducting leads. We show that, for small values of the superconducting gap, Kondo correlations and superconductivity cooperate to enhance the Josephson current. As the superconducting gap increases, the current changes sign and the system becomes a $pi$-junction. The $pi$-junction behavior sets in much before antiferromagnetic correlations at the dot can be treated perturbatively.
Over-screened Kondo effect is feasible in carbon nanotube quantum dot junction hosting a spin $tfrac{1}{2}$ atom with single $s$-wave valence electron (e.g Au). The idea is to use the two valleys as two symmetry protected flavor quantum numbers $xi={ bf K}, {bf K}$. Perturbative RG analysis exposes the finite weak-coupling two-channel fixed point, where the Kondo temperature is estimated to be around $0.5div5$~K. Remarkably, occurrence of two different scaling regimes implies a non-monotonic dependence of the conductance as function of temperature.
Phonon-assisted electronic tunnelings through a vibrating quantum dot embedded between normal and superconducting leads are studied in the Kondo regime. In such a hybrid device, with the bias applied to the normal lead, we find a series of Kondo side bands separated by half a phonon energy in the differential conductance, which are distinct from the phonon-assisted sidebands previously observed in the conventional Andreev tunnelings and in systems with only normal leads. These Kondo sidebands originate from the Kondo-Andreev cooperative cotunneling mediated by phonons, which exhibit a novel Kondo transport behavior due to the interplay of the Kondo effect, the Andreev tunnelings, and the mechanical vibrations. Our result could be observed in a recent experiment setup [J. Gramich emph{et al.}, PRL textbf{115}, 216801 (2015)], provided that their carbon nanotube device reaches the Kondo regime at low temperatures.
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.
