Dynamical fluctuations in global conserved quantities such as baryon number, strangeness, or charge may be enhanced near a QCD critical point. Charge dependent results from new measurements of dynamical $K/\pi$, $p/\pi$, and $K/p$ ratio…

We examine a quantum dot with $N_{\rm dot}$ levels which is strongly coupled to leads for varying number of channels $N$ in the leads. It is shown both analytically and numerically that for strong couplings between the dot and the leads, at…

Quantum critical points (QCPs) are widely accepted as a source of a diverse set of collective quantum phases of matter. A central question is how the order parameters of phases near a QCP interact and determine the fundamental character of…

We show that randomness of the electron wave functions in a quantum dot contributes to the fluctuations of the positions of the conductance peaks. This contribution grows with the conductance of the junctions connecting the dot to the…
