## Abstract

This letter is devoted to the optimization of the Cooper pair splitting efficiency in a Y-shaped junction. The latter consists of two quantum dots, one superconducting and two normal leads. We tailor the bias in the two normal leads such that the Cooper pairs leaving the superconductor are split up resulting in entangled electrons, one on each quantum dot. We are able to achieve a splitting efficiency of more than 99% which is significantly better than the efficiencies obtained in experiments so far.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
