We study transport through a Weyl semimetal quantum dot sandwiched between an $s$-wave superconductor and a normal lead. The conductance peaks at regular intervals and exhibits double periodicity with respect to two characteristic frequencies of the system, one that originates from Klein tunneling in the system and the other coming from the chiral nature of the excitations. Using a scattering matrix approach as well as a lattice simulation, we demonstrate the universal features of the conductance through the system and discuss the feasibility of observing them in experiments.

We experimentally compare two types of interface structures with magnetic and non-magnetic Weyl semimetals. They are the junctions between a gold normal layer and magnetic Weyl semimetal Ti$_2$MnAl, and a ferromagnetic nickel layer and non-magnetic W
eyl semimetal WTe$_2$, respectively. Due to the ferromagnetic side of the junction, we investigate spin-polarized transport through the Weyl semimetal surface. For both structures, we demonstrate similar current-voltage characteristics, with hysteresis at low currents and sharp peaks in differential resistance at high ones. Despite this behavior resembles the known current-induced magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic structures, evolution of the resistance peaks with magnetic field is unusual. We connect the observed effects with current-induced spin dynamics in Weyl topological surface states.
Sub-gap transport properties of a quantum dot (QD) coupled to two superconducting and one metallic leads are studied theoretically, solving the time-dependent equation of motion by the Laplace transform technique. We focus on time-dependent response
of the system induced by a sudden switching on the QD-leads couplings, studying the influence of initial conditions on the transient currents and the differential conductance. We derive analytical expressions for measurable quantities and find that they oscillate in time with the frequency governed by the QD-superconducting lead coupling and acquire damping, due to relaxation driven by the normal lead. Period of these oscillations increases with the superconducting phase difference $phi$. In particular, for $phi=pi$ the QD occupancy and the normal current evolve monotonically (without any oscillations) to their stationary values. In such case the induced electron pairing vanishes and the superconducting current is completely blocked. We also analyze time-dependent development of the Andreev bound states. We show, that the measurable conductance peaks do not appear immediately after sudden switching of the QD coupling to external leads but it takes some finite time-interval for the system needs create these Andreev states. Such time-delay is mainly controlled by the QD-normal lead coupling.
We investigate the spin-flip effects on the Andreev bound states and the supercurrent in a superconductor/quantum-dot/superconductor system theoretically. The spin-flip scattering in the quantum dot can reverse the supercurrent flowing through the sy
stem, and one $pi$-junction transition occurs. By controlling the energy level of quantum dot, the supercurrent is reversed back and another $pi$-junction transition appears. The different influences of the spin-flip scattering and the intradot energy level on the supercurrent are interpreted in the picture of Andreev bound states.
We experimentally investigate the magnetic field dependence of Andreev transport through a region of proximity-induced superconductivity in CoSi topological chiral semimetal. With increasing parallel to the CoSi surface magnetic field, the sharp subg
ap peaks, associated with Andreev bound states, move together to nearly-zero bias position, while there is only monotonous peaks suppression for normal to the surface fields. The zero-bias $dV/dI$ resistance value is perfectly stable with changing the in-plane magnetic field. As the effects are qualitatively similar for In and Nb superconducting leads, they reflect the properties of proximized CoSi surface. The Andreev states coalescence and stability of the zero-bias $dV/dI$ value with increasing in-plane magnetic field are interpreted as the joined effect of the strong SOC and the Zeeman interaction, known for proximized semiconductor nanowires. We associate the observed magnetic field anisotropy with the recently predicted in-plane polarized spin texture of the Fermi arcs surface states.
