Electrodynamics Correlates Knock-on and Knock-off: Current is Spatially Uniform in Ion Channels.
TL;DR: The electrodynamics of charge guarantee strong correlations between the movements of ions on all time scales, even those of atomic scale thermal motion, so they are present in individual trajectories, not just averages.

Unified description of charge transfer mechanisms and vibronic dynamics in nanoscale junctions.
TL;DR: In the tunnel limit, non-perturbative results in the electron-phonon interaction are derived that unify complementary approaches based on rate equations or on the use of non-equilibrium Green functions.

Development of a measurement system for quantum shot noise at low temperatures
Masayuki Hashisaka,Shuji Nakamura,Yoshiaki Yamauchi,Shinya Kasai,Kensuke Kobayashi,Teruo Ono +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the noise power spectral density of the mesoscopic devices was measured at low temperatures with two homemade systems for low and high-frequency ranges, and the advantage of the high frequency measurement system was discussed.

Classifying transport behavior via current fluctuations in open quantum systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that both the total current autocorrelation and the long-range local current correlations of the open system in equilibrium show signatures of diffusive transport up to a time scale.

Positive correlations in tunnelling through coupled quantum dots
TL;DR: In this paper, the shot noise behavior of a system of two capacitively coupled quantum dot states by means of a Master equation model was investigated, and the underlying mechanism was discussed in detail in terms of the current-current correlation function and the frequency-dependent Fano factor.

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.
