We study the noise properties and efficiency of a mesoscopic resonant-level conductor which is used as a quantum detector, in the regime where transport through the level is only partially phase coherent. We contrast models in which…
We study the 1D model of conduction electrons interacting with local vibronic modes. States in the conduction band are two-fold degenerate both in orbital index and spin. It is shown that such 1D system has a strong tendency to…
Superconductors are the only experimentally accessible systems with spontaneously broken gauge symmetries which support topologically nontrivial defects, namely string defects. We propose two experiments whose aim is the observation of the…
The vast majority of superconductors have more than one Fermi surface, on which the electrons pair below the critical temperature $T_C$, yet their superconducting behavior can be well described by a single-band Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer…
The interaction between charged particles and the vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field induces decoherence, and therefore affects the contrast of fringes in an interference experiment. In this article we show that if a double…
Solid-state systems which mimic two-level atoms are being actively developed. Improving the quantum coherence of these systems, for instance spin qubits or single photon emitters using semiconductor quantum dots, involves dealing with…
The explanation of the anomalous behavior in $\kappa$-type (BEDT-TTF)$_2$X which was revealed by the nuclear magnetic resonance experiments is presented. We calculate the electronic properties by using the one-loop approximation for the…
In one dimension the coupling of electrons to phonons leads to a transition from a metallic to a Peierls distorted insulated state if the coupling exceeds a critical value. On the other hand, in two dimensions the electron-phonon…
Spin qubits in Silicon quantum dots can have long coherence times, yet their manipulation relies on the exchange interaction, through which charge noise can induce decoherence. Charge traps near the interface of a Si heterostructure lead to…
The resonance, a collective boson mode, was usually thought to be a possible glue of superconductivity. We argue that it is rather a natural product of the \emph{d}-wave pairing and the Fermi surface topology. A universal scaling…
We propose the ``pair-breaking scattering interference" as a general source of coherence peak modulations in superconductors. Assuming this mechanism, we present a simple physical picture for the coherence peak modulations in overdoped…
More recently STM experimets present firm evidence of some kind of charge modulation in underdoped cuprates. The peculiar observations of the above experiments are located in the so called pseudo-gap region of the phase diagram, just over…
In this paper we study the effects of the strong coupling superconductivity on the normal state electronic structure. We point out that the pseudogap phenomena in High-T_c cuprates are naturally explained as a precursor of the strong…
The low-frequency shot-noise power of a normal-metal-superconductor junction is studied for arbitrary normal region. Through a scattering approach, a formula is derived which expresses the shot-noise power in terms of the transmission…
To be practical, semiconductors need to be doped. Sometimes, to nearly degenerate levels, e.g. in applications such as thermoelectric, transparent electronics or power electronics. However, many materials with finite band gaps are not…
We consider a system where localized bound electron pairs form an array of "Andreev"-like scattering centers and are coupled to a fermionic subsystem of uncorrelated electrons. By means of a path-integral approach, which describes the bound…
