Spin-charge ‘entanglement’
Schematics of a co-tunneling process for the usual spin SU(2) Kondo screening.
Same as above, but now for an orbital degree of freedom(orbital SU(2) Kondo).
Simultaneous screening of orbital and spin degrees of freedom, leading to SU(4) Kondo.

LDOS with field (half-filling)
The peak seems to split at any finite field.
Closer view
Conclusions
New numerical results for conductance in Carbon Nanotubes were presented
ECA method seems capable of capturing glimpses of NFL behavior suggested by previous NRG results
SU(4) regime at half-filling (HF) is confirmed: conductance results for third shell may then be reinterpreted as signature of SU(4) at HF
Calculations at finite magnetic field agree quite well with experimental results
Results indicating how conductance changes from SU(4) to 2LSU(2) regime were presented
More detailed results with field seem to indicate that Kondo peak splits for any finite field.
DMRG: the future of LDECA?
Currently, the method is based on using Lanczos to solve for the Green’s functions of the cluster.• Advantage: Lanczos is fast and easy to program• Disadvantage: Maximum cluster size is still
small. Finite size effects may occur.
Solution? Use DMRG instead of Lanczos• Advantage: REALLY Larger clusters• Disadvantage: CPU time.
Accuracy of Green’s functions?
Size (only) doesn’t matter…
No discretization

Conclusions
An improvement of embedding method was presented Results for single quantum dot agree perfectly with
Bethe ansatz Results for density of states agree with NRG Two stage Kondo system (two hanging quantum dots)
was discussed and compared with NRG Triangular configuration analyzed (interference) SU(4) in carbon nanotubes was analyzed Preliminary results using DMRG instead of Exact
Diagonalization (very encouraging!) For the future:
• Use two-particle Green’s function to calculate embedded spin correlations
• Add temperature and bias (ambitious…)
