Electron transport through molecular quantum dots coupled to a single vibrational mode is studied in the Kondo regime. We apply a generalized Schrieffer-Wolff transformation to determine the effective low-energy…

We demonstrate that a quiet state and large-amplitude self-sustained oscillations can co-exist in a carbon nanotube subject to time-independent drive. A feature of the bistability is that it would be hysteresis-free in the absence of noise…

Josephson junctions are currently used as base elements of superconducting logic systems. Long enough junctions subject to magnetic field host quantum phase 2{\pi}-singularities - Josephson vortices. Here we report the realization of the…

Anisotropic magnetic molecules can be employed to manipulate charge transport in molecular nanojunctions. Charge transport through a molecular orbital connected to two leads and exchange-coupled with a precessing anisotropic molecular spin…

Vibronic coupling has a dramatic influence over a large number of molecular processes, ranging from photo-chemistry, to spin relaxation and electronic transport. The simulation of vibronic coupling with multi-reference wavefunction methods…

In nanoscale junctions the interaction between charge carriers and the local vibrations results in renormalization, damping and heating of the vibrational modes. We here formulate a nonequilibrium Green's functions based theory to describe…

Ultrafast laser excitation can create coherent superpositions of electronic states in molecules and trigger ultrafast flow of electron density on few- to sub-femtosecond time scales. While recent attosecond experiments have addressed…

Recent experiments performed on cuprates and alkali-doped fullerides have demonstated that key signatures of superconductivity can be induced above the equilibrium critical temperature by optical modulation. These observations in disparate…

An ab initio based theoretical approach to describe nonequilibrium many-body effects in molecular transport is developed. We introduce a basis of localized molecular orbitals and formulate the many-body model in this basis. In particular,…

Vibrationally inelastic electron transport through a flexible molecular junction is investigated. The study is based on a mechanistic model for a biphenyl molecule between two metal electrodes. Employing methods from electron-molecule…

Multiple transient memories, originally discovered in charge-density-wave conductors, are a remarkable and initially counterintuitive example of how a system can store information about its driving. In this class of memories, a system can…

Transport in a one-dimensional symmetric device can be activated by the combination of thermal noise and a bi-harmonic drive. For the study case of an overdamped Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic one-dimensional substrate, we…

A model of a superconducting tunnel junction coupled to a mechanical oscillator is studied at zero temperature in the case of linear coupling between the oscillator and tunneling electrons. It is found that the Josephson current flowing…

Recent studies have shown a number of surprising vortex dynamics phenomena both in low and high temperature superconductors, which include: low frequency noise, slow voltage oscillations, history dependent dynamic response, memory of the…

Superconductivity is a result of quantum coherence at macroscopic scales. Two superconductors separated by a metallic or insulating weak link exhibit the AC Josephson effect - the conversion of a DC voltage bias into an AC supercurrent.…

Prevailing models of resistive switching arising from electrochemical formation of conducting filaments across solid state ionic conductors commonly attribute the observed polarity of the voltage-biased switching to the sequence of the…

Using benzene sandwiched between two Au leads as a model system, we investigate from first principles the change in molecular conductance caused by different atomic structures around the metal-molecule contact. Our motivation is the…

Many biological processes are supported by special molecules, called motor proteins or molecular motors, that transport cellular cargoes along linear protein filaments and can reversibly associate to their tracks. Stimulated by these…

We investigate a resonantly modulated harmonic mode, dispersively coupled to a nonequilibrium few-level quantum system. We focus on the regime where the relaxation rate of the system greatly exceeds that of the mode, and develop a quantum…

The multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) theory within second quantization representation of the Fock space, a novel numerically exact methodology to treat many-body quantum dynamics for systems containing…
