Numerically exact full counting statistics of the energy current in the Kondo regime
TL;DR: Ridley et al. as mentioned in this paper used the inchworm Quantum Monte Carlo method to investigate the full counting statistics of particle and energy currents in a strongly correlated quantum dot, and demonstrated the signature of a crossover from Coulomb blockade to Kondo physics in the energy current fluctuations.

Bosonic superfluid transport in a quantum point contact
TL;DR: In this paper, a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport in a bosonic superfluid point contact is presented, which is different from traditional, fermionic superconductors, such as Ohm's law obeyed in DC transport and odd-order harmonics in AC transport, as well as breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law.

TL;DR: By demanding a non-zero power production, in the linear regime a stronger TUR can be formulated in terms of the thermoelectric figure of merit, and this bound holds also in a wide parameter regime beyond linear response for the QPC device.

Electronic quantum optics beyond the integer quantum Hall effect
TL;DR: In this article, the analogs of two seminal quantum optics experiments are considered in a condensed-matter setting with single-electron sources injecting electronic wave packets on edge states coupled through a quantum point contact.

Sensitivity Limit of Nanoscale Phototransistors
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical gain mechanism in phototransistor detectors (PTDs) is explored in low light conditions and an analytical formula is derived for the physical limit on the minimum number of detectable photons for the PTD.

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.
