Transport properties of proximitized double quantum dots

Abstract

We study the sub-gap spectrum and the transport properties of a double quantum dot coupled to metallic and superconducting leads. The coupling of both quantum dots to the superconducting lead induces a non-local pairing in both quantum dots by the Andreev reflection processes. Additionally, we obtain two channels of Cooper pair tunneling into a superconducting lead. In such a system, the direct tunneling process (by one of two dots) or the crossed tunneling process (by both quantum dots at the same time) is possible. We consider the dependence of the Andreev transmittance on an inter-dot tunneling amplitude and the coupling between a quantum dot and the superconducting lead. We also consider the occurrence of interferometric Fano-type line shapes in the linear Andreev conductance spectra.
