Counting statistics of coherent population trapping in quantum dots

TL;DR: In this paper, the counting statistics of the transferred charges were calculated and the authors found a crossover from sub-Poissonian to super Poissonian statistics with increasing ratio of tunnel and decoherence rates.

Microscopic Origin of the 0.7-Anomaly in Quantum Point Contacts

TL;DR: A smeared van Hove singularity in the local density of states at the bottom of the lowest one-dimensional subband of the point contact causes an anomalous enhancement in the Hartree potential barrier, the magnetic spin susceptibility and the inelastic scattering rate.

Fractal Weyl laws in discrete models of chaotic scattering

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of quantum chaotic scattering, namely quantized open baker's maps, was proposed and the density of quantum resonances in the semiclassical regime was numerically computed.

Photonics and spectroscopy in nanojunctions: a theoretical insight

TL;DR: It is argued that theoretical approaches of the quantum transport community yield a convenient tool for optoelectronics when the radiation field is treated classically, and that differences between the toolboxes may become critical when studying the quantum radiation field in junctions.

Waiting time distributions for the transport through a quantum-dot tunnel coupled to one normal and one superconducting lead.

TL;DR: The waiting time distributions for subgap transport through a single-level quantum-dot tunnel coupled to one normal and one superconducting lead reveal the internal dynamics of the system, in particular, the coherent transfer of Cooper pairs between the dot and the superconductor.

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.
