In transport experiments the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. The observations of quantized steps in the…

It has long been thought that strongly correlated systems are adiabatically connected to their noninteracting counterpart. Recent developments have highlighted the fallacy of this traditional notion in a variety of settings. Here we use a…
The scattering phase shift of an electron transferred through a quantum dot is studied within a model Hamiltonian, accounting for both the electron--electron interaction in the dot and a finite temperature. It is shown that, unlike in an…
We show that electron wave functions in a quasi-two-dimensional conductor in a parallel magnetic field are always localized on conducting layers. Wave functions and electron spectrum in a quantum limit, where the "sizes" of quasi-classical…
The correlations of the electrons field-emitted from a superconductor are fully analyzed, both in space and time. It is proposed that a coincidence experiment would reveal a positive correlation between the electrons emitted in opposite…
We describe an opto-electronic structure in which charge and spin degrees of freedom in electrical gate-defined quantum dots can be coherently coupled to light. This is achieved via electron-electron interaction or via electron tunneling…
We investigate the physical meaning of quantum superposition states between reactants and products in electron transfer reactions. We show that such superpositions are strongly suppressed and to leading orders of perturbation theory do not…
A unified and fully relativistic treatment of the interaction of the electric and magnetic dipole moments of a particle with the electromagnetic field is given. New forces on the particle due to the combined effect of electric and magnetic…
We construct contact interactions for bosonic and fermionic point particles. We first relate the resulting theories to classical electrostatics by taking functional averages over worldlines whose endpoints are fixed to charged particles.…
The coherent conductance and current is calculated through two quantum dots using the Hubbard model for a single level per spin. The occurrence of negative differential conductance is demonstrated. The Ohmic conductance is calculated for…
This article is provides an introduction to the quantum theory of optics in nonlinear dielectric media. We begin with a short summary of the classical theory of nonlinear optics, that is nonlinear optics done with classical fields. We then…
We present an overview of time-dependent transport phenomena in quantum systems, with a particular emphasis on steady-state regimes. We present the ideas after the main theoretical frameworks to study open-quantum systems out of…
We find that, under certain condition, a quantum dot with odd number of electron and coupled to two leads can be described by a non-equilibrium 2-channel Kondo model, when the two leads has a large voltage bias between them. The model is…
Two electron interference experiments which are far from each other are considered. They are irradiated with correlated nonclassical electromagnetic fields, produced by the same source. The phase factors are in this case operators, and…
The article is a short opinionated review of the quantum treatment of electromagnetic circuits, with no pretension to exhaustiveness. This review, which is an updated and modernized version of a previous set of Les Houches School lecture…
We theoretically study the electron transport through a magnetic point contact (PC) with special attention to the effect of an atomic scale domain wall (DW). The spin precession of a conduction electron is forbidden in such an atomic scale…
We calculate the admittance of a two-dimensional quantum point contact (QPC) using a Boltzman-like kinetic equation derived for a partial Wigner distribution function in an effective potential. We show that this approach leads to the known…
Conditions at which a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) electron system can be considered as a quantum liquid of impenetrable charged particles are theoretically analyzed. In the presence of an inert, neutralizing background, a motion of…
