An outstanding topic on noise phenomena is the occurrence of peaked structures in many natural systems in a wide range 10^-1 - 10^6 Hz. All existing theories failed to explain this issue. The present theory based on first prin-ciple…
We show that semiconductor avalanche photodiodes can exhibit diminutive amplification noise during the early evolution of avalanches. The noise is so low that the number of locally excited charges that seed each avalanche can be resolved.…
A fundamental instability in the nonequilibrium conduction band under a electric field bias is proposed via the spontaneous emission of coherent phonons. Analytic theory, supported by numerical calculations, establishes that the quantum…
Rapidly rotating black holes are known to develop instabilities in the presence of a sufficiently light boson, a process which becomes efficient when the boson's Compton wavelength is roughly the size of the black hole. This phenomenon,…
We show that the intriguing observation of noise enhancement in the charge transport through two vertically coupled quantum dots can be explained by the interplay of quantum coherence and strong Coulomb blockade. We demonstrate that this…
Due to the Coulomb blockade effect, electrons rarely bunch during transport, a phenomenon observed only in a few specially engineered mesoscopic configurations. In this work, we introduce an atomically resolved shot-noise study to…
Spectral density of current fluctuations in a short ballistic superconducting quantum point contact is calculated for arbitrary bias voltages $V$. Contrary to a common opinion that the supercurrent flow in Josephson junctions is coherent…
We have investigated the noise properties of the tunneling current through vertically coupled self-assembled InAs quantum dots. We observe super-Poissonian shot noise at low temperatures. For increased temperature this effect is suppressed.…
We calculate the effect of quantum noise in supersonic transport of Bose-Einstein condensates. When an obstacle obstructs the flow of atoms, quantum fluctuations cause atoms to be scattered incoherently into random directions. This…
We identify a new shot noise suppression mechanism in a thin (~100 nm) heterostructure avalanche photodiode. In the low-gain regime the shot noise is suppressed due to temporal correlations within amplified current pulses. We demonstrate in…
Chaos is a phenomenon that occurs in many aspects of contemporary science. In classical dynamics, chaos is defined as a hypersensitivity to initial conditions. The presence of chaos is often unwanted, as it introduces unpredictability,…
A two dimensional self-gravitating Hamiltonian model made by $N$ fully-coupled classical particles exhibits a transition from a collapsing phase (CP) at low energy to a homogeneous phase (HP) at high energy. From a dynamical point of view,…
We study charge transport through a chain of quantum dots. The dots are fully coherent among each other and weakly coupled to metallic electrodes via the dots at the interface, thus modelling a molecular wire. If the non-local Coulomb…
Nonlinear dynamical systems possessing reflection symmetry have an invariant subspace in the phase space. The dynamics within the invariant subspace can be random or chaotic. As a system parameter changes, the motion transverse to the…
In this report we study the dynamics of passive quenching in a single-photon avalanche diode. Our discussion is based on a microscopic description of the electron-hole avalanche coupled to the equivalent circuit of the device, consisting of…
Disorder, noise and interaction play a crucial role in the transport properties of real systems, but they are typically hard to control and study both theoretically and experimentally, especially in the quantum case. Here we explore a…
The tendency of identical bosons to bunch, seen in the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect and Bose-Einstein condensation, is a hallmark of quantum statistics. This bunching can enhance the rates of fundamental processes such as atom-atom and…
Motivated by activities of several experimental groups we investigate electron transport through two coherent, strongly coupled quantum dots ("double quantum dots"), taking into account both intra- and inter-dot Coulomb interactions. The…
It is shown that coherence resonance, a phenomenon in which regularity of noise-induced oscillations in nonlinear excitable systems is maximized at a certain optimal noise intensity, can be observed in quantum dissipative systems. We…
A general theory is presented for the photodetection statistics of coherent radiation that has been amplified by a disordered medium. The beating of the coherent radiation with the spontaneous emission increases the noise above the…
