The reported results establish a new state of the art in a field that has been waiting for this kind of experiments for decades. The first experiments address the quantized character of charge in circuits. The thesis discusses the charge quantization criterion, observes the predicted charge quantization scaling, and demonstrates a crossover toward a universal behavior as temperature is increased. In turn, the second set of experiments explores the unconventional quantum critical physics that arises in the multichannel Kondo model. At the symmetric quantum critical point, the predicted universal Kondo fixed points and scaling exponents are observed, and the full numerical renormalization group scaling curves validated. In addition, the thesis explores the crossover from quantum criticality: direct visualization of the development of a quantum phase transition, the parameter space for quantum criticality, as well as universality and scaling behaviors.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum physicsLow temperature physicsLow temperaturesPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Condensed materialsElectronic circuitsQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Low Temperature Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130Quantum Gases and Condensateshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033Electronic Circuits and Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010Quantum physics.Low temperature physics.Low temperatures.Phase transformations (Statistical physics).Condensed materials.Electronic circuits.Quantum Physics.Low Temperature Physics.Quantum Gases and Condensates.Electronic Circuits and Devices.530.1433Iftikhar Zubairauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut833927BOOK9910300540103321Charge Quantization and Kondo Quantum Criticality in Few-Channel Mesoscopic Circuits1864425UNINA
