dc.descriptionWe present a real-time diagrammatic theory for transport through interacting quantum dots tunnel coupled to normal and superconducting leads. Our formulation describes both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium superconducting proximity effect in a quantum dot. We study a three-terminal transistor geometry, consisting of a single-level quantum dot tunnel coupled to two phase-biased superconducting leads and one voltage-biased normal lead. We compute both the Josephson current between the two superconductors and the Andreev current in the normal lead, and analyze their switching on and off as well as transitions between 0- and $π$-states as a function of gate and bias voltage. For the limit of large superconducting gaps in the leads, we describe the formation of Andreev bound states within an exact resummation of all orders in the tunnel coupling to the superconducting leads, and discuss their signature in the non-equilibrium Josephson- and Andreev- current and the quantum-dot charge.
