We apply the Keldysh formalism in order to derive a current formula easy to use for a system with many sites, one of which is interacting. The main technical challenge is to deal with the lesser Green function. It turns out that, in the case of the left-right symmetry, the knowledge of the lesser Green function is not necessary and an exact current formula can be expressed in terms of retarded Green functions only. The application is done for a triangular interferometer which gives a good account of the Fano-Kondo effect. It is found that the interference effects, in the context of Kondo correlations, give rise to a point in the parameters space where the conductance is temperature-independent. We include a comparison with the results from the Ngs ansatz, which are less accurate, but can be used also in the absence of the above mentioned symmetry.

Quantum coherence is of crucial importance for the applicability of donor based quantum computing. In this Letter we describe the observation of the interference of conduction paths induced by two donors in a nano-MOSFET resulting in a Fano resonance . This demonstrates the coherent exchange of electrons between two donors. In addition, the phase difference between the two conduction paths can be tuned by means of a magnetic field, in full analogy to the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
Quantum spin transport is studied in an interacting quantum dot. It is found that a conductance plateau emerges in the non-linear charge conductance by a spin bias in the Kondo regime. The conductance plateau, as a complementary to the Kondo peak, or iginates from the strong electron correlation and exchange processes in the quantum dot, and can be regarded as one of the characteristics in quantum spin transport.
Motivated by recent experiments we consider transport across an interacting magnetic impurity coupled to the Majorana zero mode (MZM) observed at the boundary of a topological superconductor (SC). In the presence of a finite tunneling amplitude we ob serve hybridization of the MZM with the quantum dot, which is manifested by a half-integer zero-bias conductance $G_0=e^2/2h$ measured on the metallic contacts. The low-energy feature in the conductance drops abruptly by crossing the transition line from the topological to the non-topological superconducting regime. Differently from the in-gap Yu-Shiba-Rosinov-like bound states, which are strongly affected by the on-site impurity Coulomb repulsion, we show that the MZM signature in the conductance is robust and persists even at large values of the interaction. Interestingly, the topological regime is characterized by a vanishing Fano factor, $F=0$, induced by the MZM. Combined measurements of the conductance and the shot noise in the experimental set-up presented in the manuscript allow to detect the topological properties of the superconducting wire and to distinguish the low-energy contribution of a MZM from other possible sources of zero-bias anomaly. Despite being interacting the model is exactly solvable, which allows to have an exact characterization of the charge transport properties of the junction.
We study electron transport in quasi-one-dimensional wires at relatively weak electrostatic confinements, where the Coulomb interaction distorts the ground state, leading to the bifurcation of the electronic system into two rows. Evidence of finite c oupling between the rows, resulting in bonding and antibonding states, is observed. At high dc source-drain bias, a structure is observed at 0.5(2e^2/h) due to parallel double-row transport, along with a structure at 0.25(2e^2/h), providing further evidence of coupling between the two rows.
The resonant-level model represents a paradigmatic quantum system which serves as a basis for many other quantum impurity models. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the non-equilibrium transport near a quantum phase transition in a spinless dissi pative resonant-level model, extending earlier work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 216803 (2009)]. A detailed derivation of a rigorous mapping of our system onto an effective Kondo model is presented. A controlled energy-dependent renormalization group approach is applied to compute the non-equilibrium current in the presence of a finite bias voltage V. In the linear response regime V ->0, the system exhibits as a function of the dissipative strength a localized-delocalized quantum transition of the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) type. We address fundamental issues of the non-equilibrium transport near the quantum phase transition: Does the bias voltage play the same role as temperature to smear out the transition? What is the scaling of the non-equilibrium conductance near the transition? At finite temperatures, we show that the conductance follows the equilibrium scaling for V< T, while it obeys a distinct non-equilibrium profile for V>T. We furthermore provide new signatures of the transition in the finite-frequency current noise and AC conductance via the recently developed Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) approach. The generalization of our analysis to non-equilibrium transport through a resonant level coupled to two chiral Luttinger-liquid leads, generated by the fractional quantum Hall edge states, is discussed. Our work on dissipative resonant level has direct relevance to the experiments in a quantum dot coupled to resistive environment, such as H. Mebrahtu et al., Nature 488, 61, (2012).
