Probing single electron scattering through a non-Fermi-liquid charge-Kondo device

Among the exotic and yet unobserved features of multichannel Kondo impurity models is their subunitary single electron scattering. In the two-channel Kondo model, for example, an incoming electron is fully scattered into a many-body excitation such that the single particle Green's function vanishes. Here, we propose to directly observe these features in a charge-Kondo device encapsulated in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, within a device already studied by Duprez et al. [Science 366, 1243 (2019)0036-807510.1126/science.aaw7856]. We provide detailed predictions for the visibility and phase of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations depending on the number of coupled channels and the asymmetry of their couplings.
