We applied the new diagrammatic determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (DDQMC)
method to the Anderson-model extended by a BCS term to describe a quantum
dot coupled to superconducting leads.
We were able to gain detailed numerical data showing the phase transition of
the quantum dot from the 0-junction-regime to the -junction-regime of
the Josephson current if the superconducting gap is increased. Our
data confirms the traditional interpretation that the Kondo-effect at small
corresponds to the 0-junction-regime, while the formation of a
magnetic moment on the quantum dot leads to the -phase-shift of the
Josephson current.
Our findings give a solid numerical foundation to the usual interpretation
of the -phase-shift of the Josephson current without relying on any
approximation. The application of the novel diagrammatic determinantal
quantum Monte Carlo algorithm shows its power even in models with a complex
phase factor.
The talk is divided in two parts: The first part is rather technical and
gives a short introduction to the DDQMC-Algorithm. In the second part, the
numerical results are presented along with the data gained from the study of
two effective models valid in the limit and
