When intense light irradiates a quantum system, an ionizing electron recollides with its parent ion within the same light cycle and, during that very brief (few femtosecond) encounter, its kinetic energy sweeps from low to high energy and…
Magnetoelectric properties of the spin-valve-type tunnel junction of Ta(5\ nm)/Ni$_{79}$Fe$_{21}$ (25 nm)/Ir$_{22}$Mn$_{78}$ (10 nm)/Co$_{75}$Fe$_{25}$ (4 nm)/Al (0.8 nm)-oxide/Co$_{75}$Fe$_{25}$ (4 nm)/Ni$_{79}$Fe$_{21}$ (20 nm)/Ta (5 nm)…
Tunneling spectroscopy measurements are reported on optimally-doped and overdoped Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ single crystals. A novel point contact method is used to obtain superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) and SIS…
Ferrite-free circulators that are passive and readily integratable on a chip are highly sought-after in quantum technologies based on superconducting circuits. In our previous work, we implemented such a circulator using a…
The energy dependent thermoelectric response of a single molecule contains valuable information about its transmission function and its excited states. However, measuring it requires devices that can efficiently heat up one side of the…
The electron transport through a quantum sphere with three one-dimensional wires attached to it is investigated. An explicit form for the transmission coefficient as a function of the electron energy is found from the first principles. The…
The rational design of single molecule electrical components requires a deep and predictive understanding of structure-function relationships. Here we explore the relationship between chemical substituents and the conductance of…
We propose a Markovian quantum master equation that can describe the Fano effect directly, by assuming a standard cavity quantum electrodynamics system. The framework allows us to generalize the Fano formula, applicable over the weak and…
Spin dependent single electron tunneling in a ferromagnetic double junction is investigated theoretically in the limit of incoherent sequential tunneling. The junction consists of a small nonmagnetic metallic grain with discrete energy…
The detection of elementary carriers in transport phenomena is one of the most important keys to understand non-trivial properties of strongly-correlated quantum matter. Here we propose a method to identify the tunneling current carrier in…
The accurate determination of the lowest electron attachment ($EA$) and ionization ($IP$) energies for molecules embedded in molecular junctions is important for correctly estimating, \emph{e.g.}, the magnitude of the currents ($I$) or the…
We theoretically study Fano resonance in a two-level quantum dot side-coupled to two leads, which are connected by a direct channel. The resonance lineshape is found to be deformed, from the conventional Fano form, by interlevel Coulomb…
We investigate the effect on molecular transport due to the different structural aspects of metal-molecule interfaces. The example system chosen is the prototypical molecular device formed by sandwiching the phenyl dithiolate molecule (PDT)…
We investigate the thermoelectric response of single-molecule junctions composed of acyclic cross-conjugated molecules, including dendralene analogues and related iso-poly(diacetylene) (iso-PDA) motifs, in which node-possessing repeat units…
We investigate quantum transport via surface states in a nanostep junction on the surface of a 3D topological insulator that involves two different side surfaces. We calculate the conductance across the junction within the scattering matrix…
We study the conductance of an electron interferometer formed in a two dimensional electron gas between a nanostructured quantum contact and the charged tip of a scanning gate microscope. Measuring the conductance as a function of the tip…
Kondo effect arises whenever a coupling to the Fermi gas induces transitions within the otherwise degenerate ground state multiplet of an interacting system. Both coupling to the Fermi gas and interactions are naturally present in any…
We show that interference phenomena plays a big role for the electron yield in ionization of atoms by an ultra-short laser pulse. Our theoretical study of single ionization of atoms driven by few-cycles pulses extends the photoelectron…
The temperature dependence of the conductance of a quantum point contact has been measured. The conductance as a function of the Fermi energy shows temperature-independent fixed points, located at roughly multiple integers of $e^{2}/h$.…
We present a study of the critical phenomena around the quantum critical point in heavy-fermion systems. In the framework of the S=1/2 Kondo lattice model, we introduce an extended decoupling scheme of the Kondo interaction which allows one…
