AC noise in disordered conductors causes both dephasing of the electron wave functions and a DC current around a mesoscopic ring. We demonstrate that the dephasing rate tau_{\phi}^{-1} in long wires and the DC current, induced by the same…

It is shown that the dephasing rate in Coulomb coupled mesoscopic structures is determined by charge relaxation resistances. The charge relaxation resistance together with the capacitance determines the RC-time of the mesoscopic structure…
How dissipation affects transport is an important theme in quantum science. Here we theoretically investigate an impact of a single-particle loss in mesoscopic transport, which has been an issue in experiments of ultracold atomic gases. By…
Quantum transport in mesoscopic conductors is essentially governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. One of the major open questions of quantum mechanics is what happens if non-commuting observables are measured simultaneously. Since…

In a 'controlled dephasing' experiment [1-3], an interferometer loses its coherence due to entanglement with a controlled quantum system ('which path' detector). In experiments that were conducted thus far in mesoscopic systems only partial…
