Quantum tunneling is a fundamental quantum mechanical effect involved in plenty of physical phenomena. Its control would impact these phenomena and the technologies based on them. We show that the quantum tunneling probability through a…
We revisit the problem of quantum tunneling for a particle moving in the continuum, and in the absence of a magnetic field. In all spatial dimensions, we extend previous results to the case where the single-well potential satisfies…

The effects of quenched disorder on the overdamped motion of a driven particle on a periodic, asymmetric potential is studied. While for the unperturbed potential the transport is due to a regular drift, the quenched disorder induces a…

In this work we investigate the phenomena associated with the new thresholds in the spectrum of excitations arising when different one-dimensional strongly interacting systems are voltage biased and weakly coupled by tunneling. We develop…
We bring together the semiclassical approximation, matrix integrals and the theory of symmetric polynomials in order to solve a long standing problem in the field of quantum chaos: to compute transport moments when tunnel barriers are…
The topological property in one dimension (1D) is protected by symmetry. Based on a concrete model, we show that since a 1D topological model usually contain two of the three Pauli matrix, the left one automatically become the protecting…
We have introduced a controllable nano-scale incursion into a potential barrier imposed across a two-dimensional electron gas, and report on the phenomena that we observe as the incursion develops. In the quantum Hall regime, the…
We study several dynamical properties of a recently proposed implementation of the quantum transverse-field Ising chain in the framework of circuit QED. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of disorder on the nonequilibrium behavior…
Most self-assembled quantum dot molecules are intrinsically asymmetric with inequivalent dots resulting from imperfect control of crystal growth. We have grown vertically-aligned pairs of InAs/GaAs quantum dots by molecular beam epitaxy,…
We investigate a transition between a two-dimensional topological insulator conduction state, characterized by a conductance $G=2$ (in fundamental units $e^2/h$) and a Chern insulator with $G=1$, induced by polarized magnetic impurities.…
Tunneling, transport of particles through classically forbidden regions, is a pure quantum phenomenon. It governs numerous phenomena ranging from single-molecule electronics to donor-acceptor transition reactions. The main problem is the…
A quantum interference effect is discussed for subgap tunneling over a distance comparable to the coherence length, which is a consequence of ``advanced-advanced'' and ``retarded-retarded'' transmission modes [Altland and Zirnbauer, Phys.…
We consider tunneling to the continuum in a multi-dimensional potential. It is demonstrate that this problem can be treated as two separate problems: a) a bound state and b) a non-resonance scattering problem, by a proper splitting of the…
The pairwise quantum entanglement of sites in disordered electronic one-dimensional systems (rings) is studied. We focus on the effect of diagonal and off diagonal disorder on the concurrence $C_{ij}$ between electrons on neighbor and non…
