We performed measurements on a quantum dot and a capacitively coupled quantum point contact by using the sharp metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning force microscope as a scanned gate. The quantum point contact served as a detector for…

Quantum engineering requires controllable artificial systems with quantum coherence exceeding the device size and operation time. This can be achieved with geometrically confined low-dimensional electronic structures embedded within…

With non-invasive methods, we investigate ground and excited states of a lateral quantum dot. Charge detection via a quantum point contact is used to map the dot dynamics in a regime where the current through the dot is too low for…

While the size of functional elements in memristors becomes of the orders of nano-meters or even smaller, the quantum effects in their dynamics can significantly influence their transport properties, consistent with recent experimental…

We develop the theory of quantum transport and magnetoconductivity for two-dimensional electrons with an arbitrary large (even exceeding the Fermi energy), linear-in-momentum Rashba or Dresselhaus spin-orbit splitting. For short-range…

The interaction of photons and coherent quantum systems can be employed to detect electromagnetic radiation with remarkable sensitivity. We introduce a quantum radiometer based on the photon-induced-dephasing process of a superconducting…

We use the density matrix formalism to analyze the interaction of interferometer-type superconducting qubits with a high quality tank circuit, which frequency is well below the gap frequency of a qubit. We start with the ground state…

Quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson junction-based superconducting circuits in the 1980's. In the last twenty years, the emergence of quantum information science has intensified research…

We analyze the frequency-dependent current fluctuations induced into a gate near a quantum point contact or a quantum chaotic cavity. We use a current and charge conserving, effective scattering approach in which interactions are treated in…

A microscopic theory is used to study the optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots. The dephasing of a coherent excitation and line-shifts of the interband transitions due to carrier-carrier Coulomb interaction and carrier-phonon…

We analyse a simple setup in which a quantum dot is strongly connected to a metallic grain or finite size wire and weakly connected to two normal leads. The Kondo screening cloud essentially develops in the strongly coupled grain whereas…

The low temperature electrical conductance through correlated quantum dots provides a sensitive probe of the physics (e.g., of Fermi-liquid vs non-Fermi-liquid behavior) of such systems. Here, we investigate the role of level asymmetry…

In this letter, we investigate the dynamics of a single superconducting artificial atom capacitively coupled to a transmission line with a characteristic impedance comparable or larger than the quantum resistance. In this regime, microwaves…

Time-dependent driving with ultrashort voltage pulses brings quantum conductors into the non-adiabatic transport regime, where novel dynamical effects emerge. An example of this physics occurs in interferometric systems, where the…

We study transport through a double quantum dot system in which each quantum dot is coupled to a phonon mode. Such a system can be realized, e.g., using a suspended carbon nanotube. We find that the interplay between strong electron-phonon…

We show that the conductance of neutral atoms through a tightly confining waveguide constriction is quantized in units of lambda_dB^2/pi, where lambda_dB is the de Broglie wavelength of the incident atoms. Such a constriction forms the atom…

We analyze the dynamics of a continuously observed, damped, microwave driven solid state charge qubit. The qubit consists of a single electron in a double well potential, coupled to an oscillating electric field, and which is continuously…

We investigated the peculiarities of non-equilibrium charge configurations in the system of two strongly coupled quantum dots (QDs) weakly connected to the reservoirs in the presence of Coulomb correlations. We revealed that total electron…

We study the charge and heat transport through the correlated quantum dot with a finite value of the charging energy U \neq \infty . The Kondo resonance appearing at temperatures below T_K is responsible for several qualitative changes of…

We consider the time-dependent electron transport through a quantum dot coupled to two leads in the presence of the additional over-dot (bridge) tunneling channel. By using the evolution operator method together with the wide-band limit…
