Tunnelling of entangled Kondo singlet in two-reservoir nanocontact systems under bias

Tunnelling conductances observed for mesoscopic Kondo systems exhibit a zero-bias peak and two coherent side peaks. The former peak is usually understood as a Kondo effect and the latter side peak is recently clarified as the effect of inter-reservoir coherence. However, fitting the experimental $dI/dV$ line shapes, where $I$ and $V$ denote the current and bias voltage, respectively, has not been performed theoretically. Here, we fit the entire line shape range of the tunnelling conductance observed for a quantum dot, quantum point contact, and magnetized atom adsorbed on an insulating layer covering a metallic substrate by studying the tunnelling of entangled Kondo singlet (EKS) formed in a two-reservoir mesoscopic Kondo system. We also clarify the characteristic dynamics forming each coherent peak in terms of the processes comprising spin exchange, singlet hopping, and singlet partner changing. Tunnelling of entangled Kondo singlet can be applied to understanding the tunnelling conductance observed for a sample with strong electron correlation.

New method for the 3D Ising model

A simple, general and practically exact method is developed for the equilibrium properties of the macroscopic physical systems with translational symmetry. Applied to the Ising model in two and three dimension, a modest calculation gives the spontaneous magnetization and the specific heat to less than 1% error.

New method for the quantum ground states in one dimension

A simple, general and practically exact method is developed to calculate the ground states of 1D macroscopic quantum systems with translational symmetry. Applied to the Hubbard model, a modest calculation reproduces the Bethe Ansatz results.

Entanglement perturbation theory for the quantum ground states in two dimensions

A simple, general and practically exact method, Entanglement Perturbation Theory (EPT), is formulated to calculate the ground states of 2D macroscopic quantum systems with translational symmetry. An emphasis will be placed on the applicability of EPT to fermions. We will discuss some preliminary evidences which indicate a potential of EPT.

Landauer-like formula for dissipative tunneling

The Landauer formula for electrical conductance is simple but works remarkably well in mesoscopic systems. We propose a Landauer-like formula for calculating an escape rate out of a dissipative metastable well, the quantum Kramers rate.

Theory of superconductor-insulator transition in single Josephson junctions

A non-band theory is developed to describe the superconductor-insulator (SI) transtition in resistively shunted, single Josephson junctions. The $I-V$ characteristic is formulated by a Landauer-like formula and evaluated by the path-integral transfer-matrix method. The result is consistent with the recent experiments at around 80 $mK$. However, the insulator phase shrinks with decreasing temperature indicating that the single Josephson junction becomes all superconducting at absolute zero temperature, as long as dissipation is present.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the finite, lattice quantum sine-Gordon model

The spontaneous breaking of a global discrete translational symmetry in the finite, lattice quantum sine-Gordon model is demonstrated by a density matrix renormalization group. A phase diagram in the coupling constant - inverse system size plane is obtained. Comparison of the phase diagram with a Woomany-Wyld finite-size scaling leads to an identification of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in the quantum sine-Gordon model as the spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Essential finite-size effect in the 2D XY model

The thermodynamics of the 2D XY model is formulated by a transfer matrix method and analyzed by a density matrix renormalization group. The finite-size scaling and the beta function of the model are studied by the Roomany-Wyld renormalization group theory. It is found that the 2D XY model has an essential finite-size effect and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition with the critical temperature TBKT = 0.892 appears in a finite system of 2000 - 3000 spins as a massless to massive transition with the effective critical temperature Tc = 1.07 " 0.01.

Cluster transfer matrix method for the single electron box

With the newly developed cluster transfer matrix method, we calculate the average electron number n vs nx (the polarization charge) for varying junction conductance and its first derivative at nx=0 for finite temperatures, and demonstrate that the new method is as powerful as the Monte Carlo and renormalization group methods.
