Transport in disordered systems often occurs via the variable range hopping (VRH) in the dilute carrier density limit, where electrons hop between randomly distributed localized levels. We study the nonequilibrium transport by a uniform DC…
The conventional wisdom suggests that transports of conserved quantities in non-integrable quantum many-body systems at high temperatures are diffusive. However, we discover a counterexample of this paradigm by uncovering anomalous…

Connections between the electron eigenstates and conductivity of one-dimensional disordered electron systems is studied in the framework of the tight-binding model. We show that for weak disorder only part of the states exhibit resonant…
This paper reviews recent studies of mesoscopic fluctuations in transport through ballistic quantum dots, emphasizing differences between conduction through open dots and tunneling through nearly isolated dots. Both the open dots and the…
The paper deals with the nonequilibrium two-lead Anderson model, considered as an adequate description for transport through a d-c biased quantum dot. Using a self-consistent equation-of-motion method generalized out of equilibrium, we…
Using analytic and numerical methods, we study a $2d$ Hamiltonian model of interacting particles carrying ferro-magnetically coupled continuous spins which are also locally coupled to their own velocities. This model has been characterised…
We study the spreading of initially localized excitations in 1D disordered granular crystals. We thereby investigate localization phenomena in strongly nonlinear systems, which we demonstrate to be fundamentally different from localization…

We study the transport properties of interacting electrons in a disordered quantum wire within the framework of the Luttinger liquid model. The conductivity at finite temperature is nonzero only because of inelastic electron-electron…
A simplified transient energy-transport system for semiconductors subject to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions is analyzed. The model is formally derived from the non-isothermal hydrodynamic equations in a particular vanishing…
We study the heat transport in systems of coupled oscillators driven out of equilibrium by Gaussian heat baths. We illustrate with a few examples that such systems can exhibit ``strange'' transport phenomena. In particular, {\em…
Universal time-temperature scaling of conductivity spectra in disordered solids has been explained by thermally activated hopping of noninteracting particles over random energy barriers. An open problem is whether the random barrier model…
We study the thermopower of a disordered nanowire in the field effect transistor configuration. After a first paper devoted to the elastic coherent regime (Bosisio R., Fleury G. and Pichard J.-L. 2014 \textit{New J. Phys.} \textbf{16}…
A unified view on macroscopic thermodynamics and quantum transport is presented. Thermodynamic processes with an exchange of energy between two systems necessarily involve the flow of other balanceable quantities. These flows are first…
