Shot noise in parallel wires
TL;DR: In this article, first-principles calculations of shot noise properties of parallel carbon wires in the regime in which the interwire distance is much smaller than the inelastic mean free path are presented.

Electron injection in a nanotube with leads: Finite-frequency noise correlations and anomalous charges
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral density of noise correlations at finite frequencies is computed perturbatively in the tunneling amplitude, which depends crucially on the ratio of the time of flight of quasiparticles traveling in the nanotube to the ''voltage'' time which defines the width of the wave packets injected when an electron tunnels.

Universal noise in continuous transport measurements of interacting fermions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed and analyzed continuous measurements of atom number and atomic currents using dispersive probing in an optical cavity, and derived a universal bound on the precision of the current measurement, which results from a tradeoff between detection noise and backaction of the atomic current measurement.

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.
