A quantum mechanical theory is developed for the statistics of momentum transferred to the lattice by conduction electrons. Results for the electromechanical noise power in the semiclassical diffusive transport regime agree with a recent…

Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. The root-mean-squared momentum transfer per scattering event in a…

Microscopic current fluctuations are inseparable from conductance. We give an integral account of both quantized conductance and nonequilibrium thermal noise in one-dimensional ballistic wires. Our high-current noise theory opens a very…

It is shown that electron-electron interactions lead to a novel quantum-interference contribution to non-equilibrium current noise in mesoscopic conductors. The corresponding noise spectrum is obtained in detail for diffusive systems. It is…

Fluctuations in the acoustoelectric current, induced by a surface acoustic wave propagating along a ballistic quantum channel, are considered. We focus on the large wave-amplitude case, in which it has been experimentally found that the…

Interaction of linearized gravitational waves with a otherwise free particle has been studied quantum mechanically in a noncommutative phase-space to examine whether the particle's response to the gravitational wave gets modified due to…

We consider charge transport through a nanoscopic object, e.g. single molecules, short nanotubes, or quantum dots, that is weakly coupled to metallic electrodes. We account for several levels of the molecule/quantum dot with level-dependent…

We analyze the problem of directed quantum transport induced by external exponentially correlated telegraphic noise. In addition to quantum nature of the heat bath, nonlinearity of the periodic system potential brings in quantum…

We consider the electromagnetic field generated by a coherent conductor in which electron transport is described quantum mechanically. We obtain an input-output relation linking the quantum current in the conductor to the measured…

In transport experiments the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. The observations of quantized steps in the…

An important challenge in quantum science is to fully understand the efficiency of energy flow in networks. Here we present a simple and intuitive explanation for the intriguing observation that optimally efficient networks are not purely…

The quantum indeterminacy caused by non-commutativity of observables at different times sets a lower bound on the voltage noise power spectrum in any conducting material. This bound is calculated explicitly in the case of semiconductors…

The effect of noise on a rotational mode of a pendulum excited kinematically in vertical direction has been analyzed. We have shown that for a weak noise transitions from oscillations to rotations and vice versa are possible. For a moderate…

We explore the motion of a classical particle in a symmetric potential with non-Gaussian skewed white noise. We show analytically and numerically that the presence of nonzero odd moments leads to a macroscopic current. For a noise with a…

The recent experiment of Stettenheim, et al. showed that, contrary to conventional belief, the coupling of a quantum electronic device to its substrate can have important effects on the noise power spectrum, since the substrate functions as…

One of the many measures of the non-equilibrium nature of a system is the existence of a non-zero steady state current which is especially relevant for many biological systems. To this end, we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a…

We present a theory for the frequency-dependent current fluctuations in superconducting quantum point-contacts (SQPC) within the dc transport regime. This theory is valid for any barrier transparency between the tunnel and ballistic limits,…

We find the noise sensitivities (i.e., the quadratic terms of the energy with respect to the perturbation of the noise) of a particle shuttled by an optical lattice that moves according to a shortcut-to-adiabaticity transport protocol.…

In the literature, the study of electron transport in quantum devices is mainly devoted to DC properties. The fluctuations of the electrical current around these DC values, the so-called quantum noise, are much less analyzed. The…

We present measurements of current noise in quantum point contacts as a function of source-drain bias, gate voltage, and in-plane magnetic field. At zero bias, Johnson noise provides a measure of the electron temperature. At finite bias,…
