We study the temperature effects in a system consisting of a single-level quantum dot with local Coulomb interaction attached to two superconducting leads and optionally a third, metallic lead. The system is described by the single-impurity Anderson model coupled to BCS superconducting baths and solved using the continuous-time, hybridization-expansion (CT-HYB) quantum Monte Carlo as well as the numerical renormalization group (NRG). We study the behavior of the subgap (Andreev-Shiba) states, the Josephson current and the fate of the zero-pi (singlet-doublet) quantum phase transition. We also show the limits of usability of the stochastic optimization method for obtaining the spectral functions from the imaginary-time CT-HYB results.
