Quantum noise from a Bohmian perspective: fundamental understanding and practical computation in electron devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the quantum noise associated to an electron impinging upon a semitransparent barrier is explained using Bohmian mechanics (which deals with wave functions and point-like particles) and numerical simulations of low and high frequency features of quantum shot noise in a resonant tunneling diode are presented.

Current and noise in a model of an alternating current scanning tunneling microscope molecule-metal junction
TL;DR: The transport properties of a simple model for a finite level structure connected to metal electrodes in an alternating current scanning tunneling microscope (ac-STM) configuration are studied and the zero-frequency photoassisted shot noise serves as a useful diagnosis for analyzing the energy level structure of the molecule.

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.
