We reply to the critique of our results raised by Aleiner, Altshuler and Gershenzon (AAG) in cond-mat/9808078 and cond-mat/9808053. We demonstrate that our path integral analysis fully reproduces the results of AAG if analyzed on a…

The Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism establishes an equivalence between the electrical conduction through a device, e.g., a quantum dot, and the transmission. Guided by this analogy we perform transmission measurements through three-port…

The interaction with time-dependent external fields, especially the interplay between time-dependent driving and quantum correlations, changes the familiar picture of electron transport through nanoscale systems. Although the exact solution…

In a paper recently published in Phys. Rev. A [arXiv:1010.4223], Schirmer has criticized an earlier work of mine [arXiv:0803.2727], as well as the foundations of time-dependent density functional theory. In Ref.[2], I showed that the…

The gravity-mediated entanglement experiments employ concepts from quantum information to argue that if entanglement due to gravitational interaction is observed, then gravity cannot be described by a classical system. However, the proposed…

We answer in the negative Siegel's problem for $G$-functions, as formulated by Fischler and Rivoal. Roughly, we prove that there are $G$-functions that cannot be written as polynomial expressions in algebraic pullbacks of hypergeometric…

We show that the key formula in the works [Ding, Zhu, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 045405 (2009); {\bf 84}, 115433 (2011); Ding, Zhu, Zhang, and Berakdar, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 82}, 155143 (2010)] is invalid in the extended graphene…

We review the conceptual structure of the Landauer theory of electron transport in the light of quantum kinetics, the orthodox framework for describing conductance at all scales. In a straightforward analysis, we assess popular claims for a…

Recent arguments, involving entangled systems shared by sets of Wigner's friend arrangements, allegedly show that the assumption that the experiments performed by the friends yield definite outcomes, is incompatible with quantum…

Lectures deal with the theory of electronic transport, in particular with the electrical conductivity, in systems dominated by strong electron-electron repulsion. The concept of charge stiffness is introduced to distinguish conductors and…

We show that by integrating out the electric field and incorporating proper boundary conditions, a semiclassical Boltzmann equation can describe electron transport properties, continuously from the diffusive to ballistic regimes. General…

Friedel's sum rule provides an explicit expression for a conductance functional, $\mathcal{G}[n]$, valid for the single impurity Anderson model at zero temperature. The functional is special because it does not depend on the interaction…

The steady-state electronic transport across periodically driven systems can be efficiently addressed using Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism. The time-dependent nonequilibrium Green's function theory then may be adapted for developing direct…

We propose a Schr\"odinger equation of arbitrary order for modeling charge transport in semiconductors operating in the ballistic regime. This formulation incorporates non-parabolic effects through the Kane dispersion relation, thereby…

We comment on the model proposed by Orenstein and Dodge in arXiv:1506.06758v1, which describes time-domain terahertz measurements of transiently generated, high-electron-mobility (or superconducting) phases of solids. The authors' main…

We present both time-averaged and time-resolved transport measurements of a two-dimensional electron (Wigner) crystal on the surface of superfluid helium confined in a narrow microchannel. We find that the field-current characteristics of…

We study thermoelectric transport through a coherent molecular conductor connected to two electron and two phonon baths using the nonequilibrium Green's function method. We focus on the mutual drag between electron and phonon transport as a…

A pioneering experiment [E. Schuster, E. Buks, M. Heiblum, D. Mahalu, V. Umansky, and Hadas Shtrikman, Nature 385, 417 (1997)] reported the measurement of the transmission phase of an electron traversing a quantum dot and found the…

The demonstration that the electromagnetic fields derived from the Lienard-Wiechert potentials do not satisfy the Maxwell equations is proved to be false. Errors were made in the computation of the derivatives of retarded quantities. The…

The Landauer expression for computing current-voltage characteristics in nanoscale devices is efficient and widely applicable but not suited to transient phenomena and time dependent currents because it assumes that the charge carrier…
