Cortical sensory neurons are known to be highly variable, in the sense that responses evoked by identical stimuli often change dramatically from trial to trial. The origin of this variability is uncertain, but it is usually interpreted as…

We investigate fluctuations of electric and heat currents, along with their cross-correlations, in a two-channel charge Kondo circuit driven by either a voltage bias or a temperature gradient applied across the weak link. The ratios of…

We consider the transport of rigid objects with internal structure in a flashing ratchet potential by investigating the overdamped behavior of a rod-like chain of evenly spaced point particles. In 1D, analytical arguments show that the…

The energetic properties of electron transport in mesoscopic and nanoscale conductors is of large current interest. Here we theoretically investigate the possibility of probing fluctuations of charge and heat currents as well as their mixed…

We theoretically investigate the phase and voltage correlation dynamics, which includes both the deterministic contribution and stochastic fluctuations, under a current noise generated by a resistor including thermal and quantum…

We consider electron transport in ferromagnets or antiferromagnets sandwiched between metals. When spins in the magnetic materials precess, they emit currents into the surrounding conductors. Generally, adiabatic pumping in mesoscopic…

A recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 87, 062114 (2013)] presents numerical simulations on a system exhibiting directed ratchet transport of a driven overdamped Brownian particle subjected to a spatially periodic, symmetric potential. The authors…

In this study, we describe the ratchet transport of particles under static asymmetric potential with periodicity. Ratchet transport has garnered considerable attention due to its potential for developing smart transport techniques on a…

We analyze the performance of a Brownian ratchet in the presence of geometrical constraints. A two-state model that describes the kinetics of molecular motors is used to characterize the energetic cost when the motor proceeds under…

We investigate a stochastic heat engine based on an over-damped particle diffusing on the positive real axis in an externally driven time-periodic log-harmonic potential. The periodic driving is composed of two isothermal and two adiabatic…

The statistics of quantum transport in nanostructures can be tailored by a time-dependent bias voltage $V(t)$. We demonstrate experimentally how correlations of current fluctuations at two different times $t$ and $t+\tau$ depend on the…

An analysis of transition from chaotic to nonchaotic behavior and synchronization in an ensemble of systems driven by identical random forces is presented. The synchronization phenomenon is investigated in the ensemble of particles moving…

In this paper, we investigate the effect of noise and disorder on the efficiency of excitation energy transfer (EET) in a $N=5$ sites linear chain with "static" dipole-dipole couplings. In fact, here, the disordered chain is a toy model for…

This paper studies the relaying strategies and the approximate capacity of the classic three-node Gaussian relay channel, but where the noises at the relay and at the destination are correlated. It is shown that the capacity of such a relay…

Noise radars can be understood in terms of a correlation coefficient which characterizes their detection performance. Although most results in the literature are stated in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we show that it is…

The study of charge current fluctuations (noise) can give useful insights into the properties of nanoscale systems. In this work, the peculiar properties of noise in multiterminal hybrid normal-superconducting systems are explored in the…

This paper investigates amplify-and-forward (AF) schemes for both one and two-way relay channels. Unlike most existing works assuming independent noise at the relays, we consider a more general scenario with correlated relay noise. We first…

The pump process of the ratchet model inspired by the $F_o$ rotatory motor of ATP synthase is investigated. In this model there are two kinds of characteristic time. One is dynamical, the relaxation time of the system. Others are chemical,…

Consider two Fermi gases with the same {\it average} currents: a transport gas, as in solid-state experiments where the chemical potentials of terminal 1 is $\mu+eV$ and of terminal 2 and 3 is $\mu$, and a beam, i.e., electrons entering…

We describe the transport properties of a point contact under the influence of a classical two-level fluctuator. We employ a transfer matrix formalism allowing us to calculate arbitrary correlation functions of the stochastic process by…
