In this article, we review the state of the art on the transport properties of quantum dot
systems connected to superconducting and normal electrodes. The review is mainly focused …

Recent progress in nanoscale manufacturing has allowed to experimentally investigate
quantum dots coupled to two superconducting leads in controlled and tunable setups. The …

We propose and theoretically investigate an alternative way to create the poor man's
Majorana bound states (MBSs) introduced in Phys. Rev. B 86, 134528 (2012) …

We realize a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device in which the
Josephson effect is controlled by a gate-defined quantum dot in an In As-Al nanowire …

The spectrum of a segment of InAs nanowire, confined between two superconducting leads,
was measured as function of gate voltage and superconducting phase difference using a …

We use a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device to perform spectroscopy of
a quantum dot Josephson junction tuned to be in a spin-1/2 ground state with an unpaired …

We develop a general perturbative framework based on a superconducting atomic limit for
the description of Andreev bound states (ABS) in interacting quantum dots connected to …

We present a detailed study of the spectral properties of a locally correlated site embedded
in a Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superconducting medium. To this end the Anderson …

We propose theoretically a Josephson diode consisting of the conventional superconductors
with the plain s-wave pairing and a chiral quantum dot. When an external magnetic field is …

Theoretical descriptions of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states induced by magnetic impurities
inside the gap of a superconductor typically rely on a classical spin model or are restricted to …
