We show that electron transport through a long multichannel wire, connected to leads by tunnel junctions, at low temperatures and voltages is dominated by inelastic cotunnelling. This mechanism results in experimentally observed power-law…

We investigate electron transport through an antidot embedded in a narrow strip of two-dimensional topological insulator. We focus on the most generic and experimentally relevant case with broken axial spin symmetry. Spin-non-conservation…

Nanoelectronics devices, such as quantum dot systems or single-molecule transistors, consist of a quantum nanostructure coupled to a macroscopic external electronic circuit. Thermoelectric transport between source and drain leads is…

Electronic states and transport phenomena in semiconductor quantum dots are studied theoretically. Taking account of the electron-electron Coulomb interaction by the exact diagonalization method, the ground state and low-lying excited…

We study spin correlation in a double quantum dot containing a few electrons in each dot (around 10). Clear current rectification with negative differential conductance is observed in the cotunneling regime, which is well explained by a…

Cotunneling current through a resonant level coupled to either normal and superconducting or to two superconducting leads is studied for the domain of bias voltages, V, exceeding the superconducting gap, 2\Delta. Due to the on-site…

We present a theory of Coulomb blockade oscillations in tunneling through a pair of quantum dots connected by a tunable tunneling junction. The positions and amplitudes of peaks in the linear conductance are directly related, respectively,…

We investigate single-electron transport through quantum dots with negative charging energy induced by a polaronic energy shift. For weak dot-lead tunnel couplings, we demonstrate a bipolaronic blockade effect at low biases which suppresses…

The temperature dependence of Coulomb blockade peaks of a one dimensional quantum dot is calculated. The Coulomb interaction is treated microscopically using the Luttinger liquid model. The electron interaction is assumed to be…

We address the problem of non-linear transport through discrete electronic levels in a small quantum dot coupled to superconducting electrodes. In our approach the low temperature I-V characteristics can be calculated including all multiple…

We theoretically study the single electron transfer through two-terminal quantum ring capacitively coupled to charged dot placed in its center. For this purpose we solve time-dependent Schrodinger equation for fully correlated two-particle…

We study low-temperature transport through carbon nanotube quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime coupled to niobium-based superconducting leads. We observe pronounced conductance peaks at finite source-drain bias, which we ascribe to…

We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through a linear array of quantum dots with subsequent tunnel coupling. We consider two limiting cases: (i) strong Coulomb blockade, where only one extra electron can be present in the array…

We review the mechanisms of low-temperature electron transport across a quantum dot weakly coupled to two conducting leads. Conduction in this case is controlled by the interaction between electrons. At temperatures moderately lower than…

We derive a master equation for the electron transport through molecular wires in the limit of strong Coulomb repulsion. This approach is applied to two typical situations: First, we study transport through an open conduction channel for…

Motivated by recent experiments on superconducting circuits consisting of a dc-voltage biased Josephson junction in series with a resonator, quantum properties of these devices far from equilibrium are studied. This includes a crossover…

Transport through two one-dimensional interacting metals (Luttinger liquids) coupled together at a single point is analyzed. The dominant coupling mechanism is shown to be of electrostatic nature. Describing the voltage sources by boundary…

Solid state quantum bits are a promising candidate for the realization of a scalable quantum computer, however, they are usually strongly limited by decoherence. We consider a double quantum dot charge qubit, whose basis states are defined…

We theoretically study the nonequilibrium thermoelectric transport properties of a strongly-correlated molecule (or quantum dot) embedded in a tunnel junction. Assuming that the coupling of the molecule to the contacts is asymmetric, we…

The non linear charge transfer through a tunnel junction between two Luttinger systems is studied for repulsive, finite range interaction between electrons on the same, V_{11}, and on different,V_{12}, sides of the junction. Features of the…
