SUMMARY:Tomáš NOVOTNY (Charles University\, Praha\, Czech Republic)
DESCRIPTION:Theoretical approaches to correlated quantum dots coupled to superconducting leads\nRésumé : \nI will present a brief overview of relatively simple theoretical approaches developed in our Prague group in past several years and applied to the problem of description of correlated quantum dots attached to the BCS superconducting leads. As a thorough Quantum Monte Carlo analysis (1) of the experimental data (2) showed realistic experimental setups can be even quantitatively captured by the Single Impurity Anderson Model (SIAM) with superconducting leads. Pioneering semi-analytical approaches have not matched the so far employed heavy numerical tools such as Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) and/or Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) in the ability of quantitatively predicting the properties of this model. However\, we have shown that self-consistent perturbation expansion up to the second order in the interaction strength (3) yields at zero temperature and for a wide range of other parameters excellent results for the position of the 0 − π impurity quantum phase transition boundary and the Josephson current as well as the energy of Andreev bound states in the 0-phase. Furthermore\, we have discovered exact identities connecting symmetric and asymmetric coupling situations which significantly reduce computational requirements in experimentally generic asymmetric setups (4) and provided simple approximate analytical formulas for the fitting of the phase boundaries from finite-temperature experimental data (5). I will also briefly mention an exact mapping of a half-filled superconducting SIAM onto a normal SIAM with a structured semiconducting lead which simplifies some technical aspects of its NRG solution significantly (6) and a simple way of determination of the quantum critical point from finite-temperature QMC statistics (7). Finally\, the most recent extensions of those methods to more quantum dots (8) or superconducting leads (9) will be mentioned. \n(1) David J. Luitz\, Fakher F.
