25. We have in mind an experiment on an AB interferometer with our system put in one of the two arms. Equation (4) actually accounts only for the interference term when multiple backscatterings are negligible (see Ref. 10).

27. In this work we mainly focus on the case of φ=0. One can show that the Hamiltonian is invariant under the electron-hole transformation together with the change φ=π→0; i.e., the results for φ=π can be deduced from those for φ=0.
28. At even higher temperatures (the CB region), phase lapses by π were observed experimentally. While this effect is partially understood for noninteracting models, there is no theoretical explanation for strongly correlated systems in question. In this work we are only confined in the region where the temperature is much lower than such a crossover region.

32. Actually, there is a different interpretation based on scaling argument about the plateau of the Kondo valley at high temperatures. See, P. G. Silvestrov and Y. Imry, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 106602 (2003). However, they did not explain why the phase shift is not π/2.
