Making sense of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative formulation of quantum mechanics in which the mathematical axiom of Hermiticity (transpose + complex conjugate) is replaced by the physically transparent condition of space?time reflection ( ) symmetry.

Ab initio modeling of quantum transport properties of molecular electronic devices
Jeremy Taylor,Hong Guo,Jian Wang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent ab initio technique for modeling quantum transport properties of atomic and molecular scale nanoelectronic devices under external bias potentials was proposed, based on density functional theory using norm conserving nonlocal pseudopotentials to define the atomic core and nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF's) to calculate the charge distribution.

Random-matrix theory of quantum transport
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system is presented, where two geometries are contrasted: a quantum dot and a disordered wire.

Physical one-way functions
TL;DR: The concept of fabrication complexity is introduced as a way of quantifying the difficulty of materially cloning physical systems with arbitrary internal states as primitives for physical analogs of cryptosystems.

Quantum properties of atomic-sized conductors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the results in the context of related developments, including Andreev reflection, shot noise, conductance quantization and dynamical Coulomb blockade.
