Landauer's formula is the standard theoretical tool to examine ballistic transport in nano- and meso-scale junctions, but it necessitates that any variation of the junction with time must be slow compared to characteristic times of the…
We study quantum transport properties of finite periodic quasi-one-dimensional waveguides whose classical dynamics is diffusive. The system we consider is a scattering configuration, composed of a finite periodic chain of $L$ identical…

We analyze quantum transport of charged fermionic particles in the tight-binding lattice connecting two particle reservoirs (the leads). If the lead chemical potentials are different they create an electric field which tilts the lattice. We…

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…
Unprecedented control over the manufacture of electronic devices on nanometer scale has allowed to perform highly controllable and fine-tuned experiments in the quantum regime where exotic effects can nowadays be measured. In quantum dot…
Consider a bunch of interacting electrons confined in a quantum dot. The later is suddenly coupled to semi-infinite biased leads at an initial instant $t=0$. We identify the dominant contribution to the ergodic current in the off-resonant…
