We study the effect of correlations between impurity potentials in different layers on the Coulomb drag in a double-layer electron system. It is found that for strongly correlated potentials the drag in the diffusive regime is considerably…
We calculate the correlator of the local density of states <\rho_{E}(r_1)\rho_{E+\omega}(r_2)> in quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in a magnetic field, assuming that |r_1-r_2| is much smaller than the localization length. This amounts…
Weak localization corrections to conductivity of ferromagnetic systems are studied theoretically in the case when spin-orbit interaction plays a significant role. Two cases are analyzed in detail: (i) the case when the spin-orbit…

At short distances, energy eigenfunctions of chaotic systems have spatial correlations that are well described by assuming a microcanonical density in phase space for the corresponding Wigner function. However, this is not correct on large…
It is shown that the tail in the two-level spectral correlation function R(s) for particles on 2D closed disordered surfaces is determined entirely by surface topology: $R(s)=-\chi/(6\pi^2\beta s^2)$, where $\beta$ = 1,2 or 4 for the…

As a function of the disorder strength in a mesoscopic system, the electron dynamics crosses over from the ballistic through the diffusive towards the localized regime. The ballistic and the localized situation correspond to integrable or…
We address the problem of detecting non-locality in coupled N level systems in the language of spin. Through a number of examples, we show that non-locality can be detected via a violation of the standard Bell inequality, irrespective of…
Coherent and dissipative couplings, respectively characterised by energy level repulsion and attraction, each have different applications for quantum information processing. Thus, a system in which both coherent and dissipative couplings…
The influence of weak localization on Hanle effect in a two-dimensional system with spin-split spectrum is considered. We show that weak localization drastically changes the dependence of stationary spin polarization $\mathbf S$ on external…
We study transport of interacting electrons in a low-dimensional disordered system at low temperature $T$. In view of localization by disorder, the conductivity $\sigma(T)$ may only be non-zero due to electron-electron scattering. For weak…
We study the transport properties of interacting electrons in a disordered quantum wire within the framework of the Luttinger liquid model. The conductivity at finite temperature is nonzero only because of inelastic electron-electron…

We have discovered an unexpected and surprising fact: a 2D axially symmetric short-range potential contains {\it infinite} number of the levels of negative energy {\it if one takes into account the spin-orbit (SO) interaction.} For a…
In a two-dimensional quantum dot in a GaAs heterostructure, the spin-orbit scattering rate is substantially reduced below the rate in a bulk two-dimensional electron gas [B.I. Halperin et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2106 (2001)]. Such a…
