Abstract:
The observation of the Kondo effect in quantum dots has provided new opportunities to finally observe the controversial Kondo screening cloud. Here we study the conductance of a quantum dot embedded in a finite length quantum wire, predicting a change in behavior when the length of the wire is comparable to the size of the screening cloud.
