  We propose a dissipative implementation of a variety of Kondo models by means
of strong two-body losses localized on a few impurity sites of a fermionic
lattice--a setup which is suited to experiments with ultracold atomic gases. We
study in detail the simplest scenario of just one dissipated site, showing that
it is effectively described by the Anderson impurity model with infinite
repulsion, perturbed by a small residual dissipation. We compute a number of
signatures of the Kondo effect in transport across the impurity, finding a
competition between the Kondo resonance and the residual dissipation. Our
dissipative setup can be generalized to two or more sites subject to
losses--realizing an impurity with spin 1 or higher--and more reservoirs,
opening up the possibility of simulating several kinds of Kondo-like models
with ultracold atoms.
