  "abstract": "Transport through an Anderson junction (two macroscopic electrodes coupled to an Anderson impurity) is dominated by a Kondo peak in the spectral function at zero temperature. The exact single-particle Kohn-Sham potential of density functional theory reproduces the linear transport exactly, despite the lack of a Kondo peak in its spectral function. Using Bethe ansatz techniques, we calculate this potential exactly for all coupling strengths, including the cross-over from mean-field behavior to charge quantization caused by the derivative discontinuity. A simple and accurate interpolation formula is also given.",
