Quantum shot noise of conductors and general noise measurement methods
TL;DR: In this article, the quantum noise properties of phase coherent conductors, in particular the spectacular noise suppression associated with conductance quantization, are reviewed. And the authors describe general techniques used to measure the tiny quantum shot noise current fluctuations at sub-kelvin temperature for low and high frequency.

Transition from metallic to tunneling regimes in superconducting microconstrictions: Excess current, charge imbalance, and supercurrent conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, the Bogoliubov equations were used to model the transmission and reflection of particles at the tunnel junction of normal-superconducting micro-constriction contacts, and a simple theory for the $I\ensuremath{-}V$ curves of normal superconducting contacts was proposed to describe the crossover from metallic to tunnel junction behavior.
