44 Difficult to experimentally verify quantum dot (work in progress).. - Pillet et al find no evidence of Coulomb blockade when leads normal Seen Not Seen - We also find no evidence of Coulomb blockade when leads normal à Quantum dot can be well-coupled to leads, or in open regime, as long as charging energy significant

47 Sharp spectra of individual Andreev bound states are difficult to measure: In transport, ABS observed as supercurrent - measure contributions from many modes In point-contact tunneling, ABS seen as zero-bias anomalies à Can couple a superconductor to a quantum dot for individual states à Create tunnel junction to obtain spectra à Make S-QD-N junction to avoid other superconducting resonances à Use low density of states leads to get sharp spectra à Tuning QD energy levels with gate or bias tunes ABS S-QD-graphene system works well!
48 How does one get conductance inside a superconducting gap? - Leaky tunnel barrier - Kondo X - Andreev reflections X N S But, according to BTK, these should be exponentially suppressed inside gap for a tunnel barrier! (and don t see periodicity of MAR)
49 Oscillations above the gap: geometric resonances particles in a (graphene) box αv gate - V bias = πnv F /L Coupling to discrete QD levels allows cavity energy levels to be observed à Spectroscopy of low-energy resonant states!
