Multistage Kondo effect in a multiterminal geometry: A modular quantum interferometer

Abstract

Quantum systems characterized by an interplay between several resonance scattering channels demonstrate very rich physics. To illustrate it we consider a multistage Kondo effect in nanodevices as a paradigmatic model for a multimode resonance scattering. We show that the channel crosstalk results in a destructive interference between the modes. This interplay can be controlled by manipulating the tunneling junctions in the multilevel and multiterminal geometry. We present a full-fledged theory of the multistage Kondo effect at the strong-coupling Fermi-liquid fixed point and discuss the influence of quantum interference effects to the quantum transport observables.
