Quantum Criticality out of Equilibrium: Steady State in a Magnetic Single-Electron Transistor

Abstract

Quantum critical systems out of equilibrium are of extensive interest, but are difficult to study theoretically. We consider here the steady state limit of a single electron transistor, which is attached to ferromagnetic leads and subjected to a finite bias voltage (V). In equilibrium (i.e., V=0), this system undergoes a continuous quantum phase transition with a critical destruction of the Kondo effect. We construct an exact quantum Boltzmann treatment in a dynamical large-N limit, and determine the universal scaling functions for the I-V characteristics covering both the linear and non-linear regimes. We also elucidate the scaling properties of both the fluctuation-dissipation ratios and the decoherence properties as encoded in the local spin response.
