I review the quantum theory of the electron moving in a random environment. First, the quantum mechanics of individual particles scattered on a random potential is discussed. The quantum-mechanical description is extended to many-body…
We introduce a simple model for the quantum transport of Fermi particles between two contacts connected by a lead. It generalizes the Landauer formalizm by explicitly taken into account the relaxation processes in the contacts. We calculate…
Non-equilibrium Green's function theory and related methods are widely used to describe transport phenomena in many-body systems, but they often require a costly inversion of a large matrix. We show here that the shift-invert Lanczos method…
The Swap gate is a ubiquitous tool for moving information on quantum hardware, yet it can be considered a classical operation because it does not entangle product states. Genuinely quantum operations could outperform Swap for the task of…
We discuss the general transport properties of superconducting quantum point contacts. We show how these properties can be obtained from a microscopic model using nonequilibrium Green function techniques. For the case of a one-channel…
The rate of electron transfer between a molecular species and a metal, each at a different local temperature, is examined theoretically through implementation of a bithermal (characterized by two temperatures) Marcus formalism. Expressions…
We investigate electron transport through a mono-atomic wire which is tunnel coupled to two electrodes and also to the underlying substrate. The setup is modeled by a tight-binding Hamiltonian and can be realized with a scanning tunnel…
The transport of quantum electrons through hierarchical lattices is of interest because such lattices have some properties of both regular lattices and random systems. We calculate the electron transmission as a function of energy in the…

Nonequilibrium Green's functions provide a powerful tool for computing the dynamical response and particle exchange statistics of coupled quantum systems. We formulate the theory in terms of the density matrix in Liouville space and…
In this review we consider those processes in condensed matter that involve the irreversible flow of energy between electrons and nuclei that follows from a system being taken out of equilibrium. We survey some of the more important…
We study correlation effects on the transport through a quantum dot superlattice using a two-dimensional Hubbard model connected to two noninteracting leads. To calculate the zero-temperature conductance away from half-filling, we have used…
Electron transport through a double quantum dot system is studied with taking into account electron-phonon interaction. The Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function formalism is used to compute the current and transmission coefficient of the…
The transfer of quantum information between different locations is key to many quantum information processing tasks. Whereas, the transfer of a single qubit state has been extensively investigated, the transfer of a many-body system…
We present a general treatment to study transport phenomena in systems described by tight-binding Hamiltonians coupled to reservoirs and with one or more time-periodic potentials. We apply this treatment to the study of transport phenomena…
We extend the pseudoparticle transport description of the Hubbard chain to all energy scales. In particular we compute the mean value of the electric current transported by any Bethe-ansatz state and the transport masses of the charge…
We present an ab initio approach to electronic transport in nanoscale systems which includes electronic correlations through the GW approximation. With respect to Landauer approaches based on density-functional theory (DFT), we introduce a…
We show that observables in QED-type theories can be realized in terms of a combinatorial structure called chord diagrams. One advantage of this combinatorial representation is that it simplifies the study of the asymptotic behavior of…
We present an application of a new formalism to treat the quantum transport properties of fully interacting nanoscale junctions [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 84}, 235428 (2011)]. We consider a model single-molecule nanojunction in the presence of two…
