Exploring the effect of noise on the Berry phase

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of noise on the Berry phase were investigated using a microwave-driven superconducting qubit, and it was shown that only fluctuations which distort the path lead to geometric dephasing.

What lurks below the last plateau: Experimental studies of the 0.7 x 2e^2/h conductance anomaly in one-dimensional systems

TL;DR: This review reports on experimental studies of fractionally quantised plateaus in semiconductor quantum point contacts and quantum wires, focusing on the 0.7 × 2e(2)/h conductance anomaly, its analogues at higher conductances and the zero-bias peak observed in the dc source-drain bias for conductances less than 1e( 2)/h.

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.
