It was recently shown that a generalization of quantum Turing machines (QTMs), in which potentials are associated with elementary steps or transitions of the computation, generates potential distributions along computation paths of states…
Recent experiments have probed quantum dots through transport measurements in the regime where they are described by a two lead Anderson model. In this paper we develop a new method to analytically compute for the first time the…
A quantum mechanical model based on a Green's function approach has been used to calculate the transmission probability of electrons traversing a two-dimensional electron gas injected and detected via mode-selective quantum point contacts.…
We consider the ballistic transport of quasiparticles with exclusion statistics through a 1D wire within the Landauer-Buttiker approach. We demonstrate that quasiparticle transport coefficients (electrical and heat conductance, as well as…
We propose to correlate transmittance maps and spectral-density maps of planar junctions, in order to analyze quantitatively and in detail spin-dependent transport calculations. Since spectral-density maps can be resolved with respect to…
In this work, we use a combination of first-principles calculations under the density functional theory framework and heat transport simulations using the atomistic Green's function (AGF) method to quantitatively predict the contribution of…
We study the conductance properties of a straight two-dimensional electron waveguide with an s-like scatterer modeled by a single delta-function potential with a finite number of modes. Even such a simple system exhibits interesting…
Molecular wires (MW) are the fundamental building blocks for molecular electronic devices. They consist of a molecular unit connected to two continuum reservoirs of electrons (usually metallic leads). We rely on Landauer theory as the basis…
We show that an Anderson Hamiltonian describing a quantum dot connected to multiple leads is integrable. A general expression for the non-linear conductance is obtained by combining the Bethe ansatz exact solution with Landauer-B\"uttiker…
The embedding method for the calculation of the conductance through interacting systems connected to single channel leads is generalized to obtain the full complex transmission amplitude that completely characterizes the effective…
We model one-dimensional transport through each open channel of a quantum wire by a Luttinger liquid with three different interaction parameters for the leads, the contact regions and the wire, and with two barriers at the contacts. We show…
The Landauer formula for quantum conductance, based on the modern paradigm: "conduction is transmission", is generalized to samples of macroscopic size. Two regimes of electrical conduction, namely diffusive and ballistic ones, are studied.…
This review is devoted to the different techniques that have been developed to compute the phase-coherent transport properties of quantum nanoelectronic systems connected to electrodes. Beside a review of the different algorithms proposed…
We propose a Landauer-like theory for nonlinear transport in networks of one-dimensional interacting quantum wires (Luttinger liquids). A concrete example of current experimental focus is given by carbon nanotube Y junctions. Our theory has…
Using the Landauer formulation of transport theory, we predict that dielectric quantum wires should exhibit quantized thermal conductance at low temperatures in a ballistic phonon regime. The quantum of thermal conductance is universal,…
A quantum-mechanical calculation of conductance in an open quantum dot is performed in the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism using a tight binding Hamiltonian with direct Coulomb interaction. The charge distribution in the dot is calculated…
A pedagogical introduction to matrix Green's function, focusing on its application to steady state transport through discrete-level quantum systems. Topics covered in the notes: 1. Retarded Green's function, spectral function and density of…
In this paper we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an adequate description of transport that relates the…
We discuss an extension of our earlier work on the time-dependent Landauer--B\"uttiker formalism for noninteracting electronic transport. The formalism can without complication be extended to superconducting central regions since the…
The multimode conductance of a {\em closed} ring is found within the framework of a scattering approach. The expression can be regarded as a generalization of the Landauer formula. The treatment is essentially {\em classical} because we…
