We calculate the finite-temperature conductance of clean, weakly interacting one-dimensional quantum wires subject to Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field. For chemical potentials near the center of the Zeeman gap ($\mu = 0$),…

The electric conductivity, $\sigma_{\rm el}$, is a fundamental transport coefficient of QCD matter that can be related to the zero-energy limit of the electromagnetic (EM) spectral function at vanishing 3-momentum in the medium. The EM…
In one dimensional wires, fluctuations destroy superconducting long-range order and stiffness at finite temperatures; in an infinite wire, quasi-long range order and stiffness survive at zero temperature if the wire's dimensionless…
The persistent current in small isolated rings enclosing magnetic flux is the current circulating in equilibrium in the absence of an external excitation. While initially studied in superconducting and normal metals, recently, atomic…
