Magnetic-field-induced transition in a quantum dot coupled to a superconductor

The magnetic moment of a quantum dot can be screened by its coupling to a superconducting reservoir, depending on the hierarchy of the superconducting gap and the relevant Kondo scale. This screening-unscreening transition can be driven by electrostatic gating, tunnel coupling, and, as we demonstrat...
