Topological Classification of Shot Noise on Fractional Quantum Hall Edges.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the shot noise generated on the edge provides a fully electrical method to probe the edge structure, and that the noise falls into three topologically distinct universality classes: charge transport is always ballistic while thermal transport is either ballistic, diffusive, or "antiballistic".

Nanomagnet coupled to quantum spin Hall edge: An adiabatic quantum motor
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a spin-hall edge coupled to a spin Hall edge can realize an adiabatic quantum motor and discuss the efficiency of its operation based on a scattering matrix approach akin to Landauer-Buttiker theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Path-integral methodology and simulations of quantum thermal transport: Full counting statistics approach.
TL;DR: In this article, an iterative full counting statistics path integral (iFCSPI) approach was proposed to study heat exchange in interacting, nonequilibrium open quantum systems, where the authors extended a previously well-established influence functional path integral method, by going beyond reduced system dynamics to provide the cumulant generating function of heat exchange.

Nanostructure studies of strongly correlated materials
Jiang Wei,Douglas Natelson +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that such nanostructure-based studies have strong potential to reveal new information about the rich physics at work in strongly correlated materials, particularly in transition metal oxides, manganites, and high temperature cuprate superconductors.

Mechanical Signatures of the Current Blockade Instability in Suspended Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: This work investigates the mechanical response of the system, namely, the displacement spectral function, the linear response to a driving, and the ring-down behavior, and finds that by increasing the electromechanical coupling the peak in the spectral function broadens and shifts at low frequencies while the oscillator dephasing time shortens.

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.
