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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aLow temperature physics 606 $aLow temperatures 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed materials 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aLow Temperature Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aLow temperature physics. 615 0$aLow temperatures. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics). 615 0$aCondensed materials. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aLow Temperature Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 676 $a530.1433 700 $aIftikhar$b Zubair$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0833927 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300540103321 996 $aCharge Quantization and Kondo Quantum Criticality in Few-Channel Mesoscopic Circuits$91864425 997 $aUNINA
