Is there Andreev-reflection in 1D Fermi-Hubbard systems? — •Mirco Marahrens1, Salvatore R. Manmana1, and Philippe Jacquod21University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany — 2University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA

We investigate for the possibility of directly observing Andreev-reflection in the time evolution of an initial wave packet at a metal/superconductor junction in interacting one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard systems. We apply the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (t-DMRG) method to obtain the behaviour when the wave packet initially prepared in the metallic region (modelled by non-interacting electrons) hits the interface to the superconducting region which we model by an attractive Fermi-Hubbard model. Somewhat surprisingly, and at first sight in contradiction to the findings in [1,2], we do not obtain a clear signal for hole-reflection over a wide range of parameters. This appears to be different for bosonic systems, in which we identify hole-like reflection, in line with the findings of [2]. We discuss ongoing work on this issue and the different aspects of the results obtained so far.
