Rashba spin-orbit interaction and shot noise for spin-polarized and entangled electrons
TL;DR: It is shown that the s-o interaction deter-mines the Fano factor, which provides a direct way to measure the Rashba coupling constant via noise.

Shot noise spectrum of open dissipative quantum two-level systems.
Ramón Aguado,Tobias Brandes +1 more
TL;DR: This work combines (non-)Markovian master equations with correlation functions in Laplace space to derive a noise formula for both weak and strong coupling to the bath, demonstrating that the dephasing and relaxation rates of the two-level systems can be extracted from noise.

TL;DR: An on-chip detection scheme for high frequency signals is used to detect noise generated by a quantum dot formed in a single wall carbon nanotube based on photon assisted tunneling in a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum-limited measurement and information in mesoscopic detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, general conditions for a linear-response detector to reach the quantum limit of measurement efficiency were formulated, where the measurement-induced dephasing rate takes its minimum possible value.

Unified Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations in Linear Response.
TL;DR: This work uses linear response theory to deriveThermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) in a straightforward and unified way and finds that, for broken time reversal, the bounds on the relative uncertainty are controlled both by dissipation and by a parameter encoding the asymmetry of the Onsager matrix.

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.
