Electron teleportation with quantum dot arrays
TL;DR: In this article, a mesoscopic electron teleportation protocol is proposed, inspired by the scenario by Bennett et al. The selection of the teleportation process is achieved in the steady state with the help of two superconducting dots and appropriate gating.

Three-level mixing and dark states in transport through quantum dots
TL;DR: In this paper, the transport through the double quantum dot structure of the recent experiment of Payette et al. was considered and the stationary current and shot noise were calculated theoretically, showing that three-level mixing gives rise to a pronounced currentsuppression effect, which changes markedly with bias direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shot noise of a quantum dot with non-Fermi-liquid correlations
TL;DR: The shot noise of a one-dimensional wire interrupted by two barriers shows interesting features related to the interplay between Coulomb blockade effects, Luttinger correlations, and discrete excitations as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium mesoscopic conductance fluctuations
TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude of mesoscopic fluctuations of the differential conductance of a metallic wire at arbitrary bias voltage V was investigated, and the asymptotic large-V behavior is kdg 2 l, V/Vc (where eVc = D/L 2 is the Thouless energy), in agreement with the earlier prediction by Larkin and Khmelnitskii.

Noise in electromigrated nanojunctions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report noise measurements in individual electromigrated nano-junctions, examining the evolution from the many-channel regime to the tunneling regime, using a radio frequency technique.

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.
