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. 000844511 650_0 $$aPhysics. 000844511 650_0 $$aQuantum physics. 000844511 650_0 $$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics). 000844511 650_0 $$aCondensed materials. 000844511 650_0 $$aCondensed matter. 000844511 650_0 $$aLow temperature physics. 000844511 650_0 $$aLow temperatures. 000844511 650_0 $$aElectronic circuits. 000844511 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783319946849 000844511 830_0 $$aSpringer Theses. 000844511 852__ $$bebk 000844511 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-94685-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000844511 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844511$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844511 980__ $$aEBOOK 000844511 980__ $$aBIB 000844511 982__ $$aEbook 000844511 983__ $$aOnline 000844511 994__ $$a92$$bISE
