A Josephson diode is a superconducting circuit element that enables non-reciprocal transport, allowing a dissipationless supercurrent to preferentially flow in a single direction. Existing methods for achieving the required symmetry…

Conclusive mathematical arguments are presented supporting the ratchet conjecture [R. Chac\'{o}n, J. Phys. A \textbf{40}, F413 (2007)], i.e., the existence of a universal force waveform which optimally enhances directed transport by…

A recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 87, 062114 (2013)] presents numerical simulations on a system exhibiting directed ratchet transport of a driven overdamped Brownian particle subjected to a spatially periodic, symmetric potential. The authors…

We discuss how life-time broadening of quasiparticle states influences single- and two-particle current transport through zero-energy states at normal metal/d-wave superconductor junctions. We distinguish between intrinsic broadening…

We show that directed ratchet transport of a driven overdamped Brownian particle subjected to a spatially periodic and symmetric potential can be reliably controlled by tailoring a biharmonic temporal force, in coherence with the…

It is demonstrated that to optimally enhance directed transport by symmetry breaking of temporal forces there exists a universal force waveform which allows to deduce universal scaling laws that explain previous results for a great…

The superconducting diode effect has garnered significant interest due to its prospective applications in cryogenic electronics and computing, enabling directional supercurrent transport. This phenomenon has been demonstrated across various…

We study the appearance of directed current in tunnel junctions, quantum ratchet effect, in the presence of an external ac field f(t). The current is established in a one-dimensional discrete inhomogeneous "tight-binding model". By making…

We study two capacitively coupled double quantum dots focusing on the regime in which one double dot is strongly biased, while no voltage is applied to the other. Then the latter experiences an effective driving force which induces a…

We demonstrate that the tunnel oscillations of a biased double quantum dot can be employed as driving source for a quantum ratchet. As a model, we use two capacitively coupled double quantum dots. One double dot is voltage biased and…

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…

We study the ratchet effect in a narrow pinning-free superconductive ring based on time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equations. Voltage responses to external dc an ac currents at various magnetic fields are studied. Due to asymmetric…

In this paper, we carry out a theoretical analysis of the zero-frequency and finite-frequency shot noise in electron tunneling through a two-level interacting system connected to two leads, when a coherent coupling between the two levels is…

The ratchet phenomenon is a means to get directed transport without net forces. Originally conceived to rectify stochastic motion and describe operational principles of biological motors, the ratchet effect can be used to achieve…

There exists a fascinating dual representation of the electric ac current flowing through a normal conductor. On the one hand, it can be understood in terms of charge transport. On the other hand, it consists in an electomagnetic field…

The shot noise in tunneling experiments reflects the Poissonian nature of the tunneling process. The shot noise power is proportional to both the magnitude of the current and the effective charge of the carrier. Shot noise spectroscopy thus…

We examine the shot noise spectrum properties of coherent resonant tunneling in coupled quantum dots in both series and parallel arrangements by means of quantum rate equations and MacDonald's formula. Our results show that, for a…

We have investigated how the Coulomb blockade of a mesoscopic Josephson junction in a high-impedance environment is suppressed by shot noise from an adjacent junction. The presented theoretical analysis is an extension of the phase…

Current noise provides useful information on correlations important for transport properties of mesoscopic systems. Of particular interest, both experimentally and theoretically, are heterostructures of normal metals and superconductors. We…

The existence and properties of an exact universal excitation waveform for optimal enhancement of directed ratchet transport are deduced from the criticality scenario giving rise to ratchet universality, and confirmed by numerical…
