Fano-Andreev effect in a T-shaped Double Quantum Dot in the Coulomb blockade regime

Abstract: We studied the effects of superconducting quantum correlations in a system consisting of two quantum dots, two normal leads, and a superconductor. Using the non-equilibrium Green's functions method, we analyzed the transmission, density of states, and differential conductance of electrons between the normal leads. We found that the superconducting correlations resulted in Fano-Andreev interference, which is characterized by two anti-resonance line shapes in all of these quantities. This behavior was observed in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium regimes and persisted even when Coulomb correlations were taken into account using the Hubbard-I approximation. It is worth noting that the robustness of this behavior against these conditions has not been studied previously in the literature.
