We examine the properties of an infinite-$U$ Anderson impurity coupled to both normal and superconducting metals. Both the cases of a quantum dot and a quantum point contact containing an impurity are considered; for the latter, we study…

The full distribution of the conductance $P(G)$ in quasi-one-dimensional wires with rough surfaces is analyzed from the diffusive to the localization regime. In the crossover region, where the statistics is dominated by only one or two…

Quantum transport in disordered magnetic fields is investigated numerically in two-dimensional systems. In particular, the case where the mean and the fluctuation of disordered magnetic fields are of the same order is considered. It is…

We describe theoretically the acoustoconductance (AC) of quantum contacts. One characteristic of a contact which distinguishes it from a long, uniform wire is a strong, energy-dependent transmission probability. This has several…

This paper develops a scattering theory to examine how point impurities affect transport through quantum wires. While some of our new results apply specifically to hard-walled wires, others--for example, an effective optical theorem for…

The transmission through quantum wires is studied within a noninteracting model taking into account the geometry of cleaved edge overgrowth devices. We show that the junction between wide contact and narrow wire has almost no influence on…

A system of an array of side-coupled quantum-dots attached to a quantum wire is studied theoretically. Transport through the quantum wire is investigated by means of a noninteracting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian. Analytical expressions of…

The ballistic conductance through a device consisting of quantum wires, to which two stubs are attached laterally, is calculated assuming parabolic confining potentials of frequencies $\omega_w$ for the wires and $\omega_s$ for the stubs.…

We consider the conductance of a quantum tube connected to a metallic contact. The number of angular momentum states that the tube can support depends on the strength of the radial confinement. We calculate the transmission coefficients…

It is pointed out that point defects on graphene are strongly correlated and can not be treated as independent scatters. In particular, for large on-site defect potential, it is shown that defects induce an impurity band with density of…

We have investigated the conductance of long quantum wires formed in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Using realistic fluctuation potentials from donor layers we have simulated numerically the conductance of four different kinds of wires.…

It is known that the conductance of a quantum point contact is quantized in units of $2e^2/h$ and this quantization is destroyed by a non-adiabatic scatterer in the point contact, due to backscattering. Recently, it was shown [Phys. Rev.…

We study the conductance of carbon nanotube wires in the presence of disorder, in the limit of phase coherent transport. For this purpose, we have developed a simple numerical procedure to compute transmission through carbon nanotubes and…

The quantum transport properties of the ultrathin silver nanowires are investigated. For a perfect crystalline nanowire with four atoms per unit cell, three conduction channels are found, corresponding to three $s$ bands crossing the Fermi…

We study quantum corrections to conductivity in a 2D system with a smooth random potential and strong spin-orbit splitting of the spectrum. We show that the interference correction is positive and down to the very low temperature can exceed…

We study theoretically the transfer of quantum information along bends in two-dimensional discrete lattices. Our analysis shows that the fidelity of the transfer decreases considerably, as a result of interactions in the neighbourhood of…

We study theoretically electronic transport through a contact of a quantum wire with 2D or 3D leads and find that if the contact is not smooth and adiabatic then the conduction is strongly suppressed below a threshold voltage $V_T$, while…

In this paper we are interested in understanding the impact of surface defects on a condensate of electron pairs in a quantum wire. Based on previous results we establish a simple mathematical model in order to account for such surface…

We (re) consider in this paper the problem of tunneling through an impurity in a quantum wire with arbitrary Luttinger interaction parameter. By combining the integrable approach developed in the case of Quantum Hall edge states with the…

It is shown that the conductance of a weakly disordered Luttinger-liquid quantum wire connected to non-interacting leads is affected by electron-electron interactions in the wire. This is in contrast to the case of a perfect wire the…
