Conductance through weak constrictions in Luttinger liquids is shown to vanish with frequency $\omega$ as $c_1 \omega^2 + c_2 \omega^{2/g - 2}$, where $g$ is a dimensionless parameter characterizing the Luttinger liquid phase, and $c_1$ and…

In the ballistic limit, the Landauer conductance steps of a mesoscopic quantum wire have been explained by coherent and dissipationless transmission of individual electrons across a one-dimensional barrier. This leaves untouched the central…
The probability per unit time for a thermally activated Brownian particle to escape over a potential well is in general well-described by Kramers theory. Kramers showed that the escape time decreases exponentially with increasing barrier…
