Recent tunneling studies for quantum impurities/dots coupled to superconducting bulk
materials have revealed such phenomena as: (i) tunable quantum phase transition
between the BCS-like and singly occupied states [responsible for the 0-pi transition in
Josephson junctions], (ii) unusual relationship between the subgap Kondo effect and
electron pairing, (iii) non-local processes due to the crossed Andreev reflections (or
Cooper pair splitting), (iv) dynamical transitions driven by a.c. fields, quantum quench
effects, and many other. Main purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts of
the Andreev and/or Josephson spectroscopies to exchange information about the
state-of-art techniques and reliable computational methods for analysis of the bound
states in various heterostructures, which are important for fundamental science and
future technological applications. The workshop will give an opportunity for younger
scientists to become acquainted with fundamental properties of the bound states and
their exotic mutations, e.g. in topological materials.
