Generic model for Cooper pair splitting
  A superconductor connected to normal leads allows to generate Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs by Cooper pair splitting. It has been realized with quantum dots either defined in carbon nanotubes or InAs nanowires. After establishing the presence of Cooper pair splitting in such devices new works have invesigated the effects of a finite potential difference between the quantum dots to improve and characterize the efficiency of Cooper pair splitting. In this paper we present a generic model for Cooper pair splitting and develop two minimal models specifically for the two experimental realisations and compare them to experimental data. In addition we also explore the relation of nonlocal charge transfer to positive current cross correlation of currents and discuss the temperature dependence of Cooper pair splitting.
