We study electron transport through a quantum dot, connected to non-magnetic leads, in a magnetic field. A super-Poissonian electron noise due to the effects of both interacting localized states and dynamic channel blockade is found when the Coulomb blockade is partially lifted. This is sharp contrast to the sub-Poissonian shot noise found in the previous studies for a large bias voltage, where the Coulomb blockade is completely lifted. Moreover, we show that the super-Poissonian shot noise can be suppressed by applying an electron spin resonance (ESR) driving field. For a sufficiently strong ESR driving field strength, the super-Poissonian shot noise will change to be sub-Poissonian.

We study shot noise in tunneling current through a double quantum dot connected to two electric leads. We derive two master equations in the occupation-state basis and the eigenstate basis to describe the electron dynamics. The approach based on the
occupation-state basis, despite widely used in many previous studies, is valid only when the interdot coupling strength is much smaller than the energy difference between the two dots. In contrast, the calculations using the eigenstate basis are valid for an arbitrary interdot coupling. We show that the master equation in the occupation-state basis includes only the low-order terms with respect to the interdot coupling compared with the more accurate master equation in the eigenstate basis. Using realistic model parameters, we demonstrate that the predicted currents and shot-noise properties from the two approaches are significantly different when the interdot coupling is not small. Furthermore, properties of the shot noise predicted using the eigenstate basis successfully reproduce qualitative features found in a recent experiment.
A correct general formula for the spin current through an interacting quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads with magnetization at an arbitrary angle $theta$ is derived within the framework of the Keldysh formalism. Under asymmetric conditions, t
he spin current component J_{z} may change sign for $0<theta<pi$. It is shown that the spin current and spin tunneling magnetoresistance exhibit different angle dependence in the free and Coulomb blockade regimes. In the latter case, the competition of spin precession and the spin-valve effect could lead to an anomaly in the angle dependence of the spin current.
Sub-gap transport properties of a quantum dot (QD) coupled to two superconducting and one metallic leads are studied theoretically, solving the time-dependent equation of motion by the Laplace transform technique. We focus on time-dependent response
of the system induced by a sudden switching on the QD-leads couplings, studying the influence of initial conditions on the transient currents and the differential conductance. We derive analytical expressions for measurable quantities and find that they oscillate in time with the frequency governed by the QD-superconducting lead coupling and acquire damping, due to relaxation driven by the normal lead. Period of these oscillations increases with the superconducting phase difference $phi$. In particular, for $phi=pi$ the QD occupancy and the normal current evolve monotonically (without any oscillations) to their stationary values. In such case the induced electron pairing vanishes and the superconducting current is completely blocked. We also analyze time-dependent development of the Andreev bound states. We show, that the measurable conductance peaks do not appear immediately after sudden switching of the QD coupling to external leads but it takes some finite time-interval for the system needs create these Andreev states. Such time-delay is mainly controlled by the QD-normal lead coupling.
We present theoretical study of shot noise in single wall metallic carbon nanotubes weakly coupled to either nonmagnetic or ferromagnetic leads. Using the real-time diagrammatic technique, we calculate the current, Fano factor and tunnel magnetoresis
tance in the sequential tunneling regime. It is shown that the differential conductance displays characteristic four-fold periodicity, indicating single-electron charging. Such a periodicity is also visible in tunnel magnetoresistance of the system as well as in the Fano factor. The present studies elucidate the impact of ferromagnetic (vs. nonmagnetic) contacts on the transport characteristics under consideration.
We study the cooling of a mechanical resonator (MR) that is capacitively coupled to a double quantum dot (DQD). The MR is cooled by the dynamical backaction induced by the capacitive coupling between the DQD and the MR. The DQD is excited by a microw
ave field and afterwards a tunneling event results in the decay of the excited state of the DQD. An important advantage of this system is that both the energy level splitting and the decay rate of the DQD can be well tuned by varying the gate voltage. We find that the steady average occupancy, below unity, of the MR can be achieved by changing both the decay rate of the excited state and the detuning between the transition frequency of the DQD and the microwave frequency, in analogy to the laser sideband cooling of an atom or trapped ion in atomic physics. Our results show that the cooling of the MR to the ground state is experimentally implementable.
