Current fluctuations are studied in a mesoscopic conductor using non-equilibrium Keldysh technique. We derive a general expression for the fluctuations in the presence of a time dependent voltage, valid for arbitrary relation between…

In this paper we will give a short rewiew about the conductance of a mesoscopic waveguide strip with a few impurities. Green-function method is used allowing to treat systems with low number of impurities, not only the completly clean case.…

The behavior of the dc-component of the current along a quantum loop of tight-binding electrons threaded by a magnetic flux that varies linearly in time Phi_M(t)= Phi t is investigated. We analize the electron transport in different kinds…

We show, using a tight-binding model and time-dependent density-functional theory, that a quasi-steady state current can be established dynamically in a finite nanoscale junction without any inelastic effects. This is simply due to the…

The main aspects of a gauge-invariant approach to the description of quark dynamics in the nonperturbative regime of QCD are first reviewed. In particular, the role of the parallel transport operation in constructing gauge-invariant Green's…

Current-density-functional theory is used to calculate ionization energies of current-carrying atomic states. A perturbative approximation to full current-density-functional theory is implemented for the first time, and found to be…

We present a real-space method for first-principles nano-scale electronic transport calculations. We use the non-equilibrium Green's function method with density functional theory and implement absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs, also…

Directly computing mass transport coefficients in stochastic models requires integrating over time the equilibrium correlations between atomic displacements. Here, we show how to accelerate the computations via \green{correlation splitting…

We have developed a new theoretical formalism for phonon transport in nanostructures using the nonequilibrium phonon Green's function technique and have applied it to thermal conduction in defective carbon nanotubes. The universal…

Transferring a physical system from an initial to a final state while minimizing energetic losses is an interdisciplinary control problem that bridges stochastic thermodynamics and optimal transport theory. Recent research typically…

The disorder averaged single-particle Green's function of electrons subject to a time-dependent random potential with long-range spatial correlations is calculated by means of bosonization in arbitrary dimensions. For static disorder our…

In the absence of directional motion it is often hard to recognize athermal fluctuations. Probability currents provide such a measure in terms of the rate at which they enclose area in the reduced phase space. We measure this area enclosing…

In a recent experiment, Hirjibehedin {\it et al.} [Science {\bf 317}, 1199 (2007)] performed inelastic tunneling spectroscopy of a single iron atom absorbed on a nonmagnetic substrate. The observed steps in the differential conductance…

The circuit theory of mesoscopic transport provides a unified framework to describe spin-dependent or superconductivity-related phenomena. We extend this theory to hybrid systems of normal metals, ferromagnets and superconductors. Our main…

Electron transport through a double quantum dot system is studied with taking into account electron-phonon interaction. The Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function formalism is used to compute the current and transmission coefficient of the…

We consider the out-of-equilibrium behavior of a general class of mesoscopic devices composed of several superconducting or/and normal metal leads separated by quantum dots. Starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian description, we provide a…

Standard derivations of the functional integral in non-equilibrium quantum field theory are based on the discrete time representation. In this work we derive the non-equilibrium functional integral for non-interacting bosons and fermions…

The non-equilibrium quantum field dynamics is usually described in the closed-time-path formalism. The initial state correlations are introduced into the generating functional by non-local source terms. We propose a functional approach to…

We derive a closed equation of motion for the one particle density matrix of a quantum system coupled to multiple baths using the Redfield master equation combined with a mean-field approximation. The steady-state solution may be found…

We investigate electric current in a single-electron tunnelling device weakly coupled to an ac-driven underdamped harmonic nanomechanical oscillator. In the linear regime, the current can respond to the external frequency in a resonant as…
