We consider a one-channel coherent conductor with a good transmission embedded into an ohmic environment whose impedance is equal to the quantum of resistance R_q=h/e^2 below the RC frequency. This choice is motivated by the mapping of this problem to a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with one impurity whose interaction parameter corresponds to the specific value K=1/2, allowing for a refermionization procedure. The new fermions have an energy-dependent transmission amplitude which incorporates the strong correlation effects and yields the exact dc current and zero-frequency noise through expressions similar to those of the scattering approach. We recall and discuss these results for our present purpose. Then we compute, for the first time, the finite-frequency differential conductance and the finite-frequency non-symmetrized noise. Contrary to intuitive expectation, both cannot be expressed within the scattering approach for the new fermions, even though they are still determined by the transmission amplitude. Even more, the finite-frequency conductance obeys an exact relation in terms of the dc current which is similar to that derived perturbatively with respect to weak tunneling within the Tien-Gordon theory, and extended recently to arbitrary strongly interacting systems coupled eventually to an environment or/and with a fractional charge. We also show that the emission excess noise vanishes exactly above eV, even though the underlying Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid model corresponds to a many-body correlated system. Our results apply for all ranges of temperature, voltages and frequencies below the RC frequency, and they allow to explore fully the quantum regime.

We present a quantum calculation based on scattering theory of the frequency dependent noise of current in an interacting chaotic cavity. We include interactions of the electron system via long range Coulomb forces between the conductor and a gate wi th capacitance $C$. We obtain explicit results exhibiting the two time scales of the problem, the cavitys dwell time $tau_D$ and the $RC$-time $tau_C$ of the cavity {em vis `a vis} the gate. The noise shows peculiarities at frequencies of the order and exceeding the inverse charge relaxation time $tau^{-1} = tau^{-1}_D+tau^{-1}_C $.
We present analytic results for the finite-frequency current noise and the nonequilibrium ac conductance for a Kondo quantum dot in presence of a magnetic field. Using the real-time renormalization group method, we determine the line shape close to r esonances and show that while all resonances in the ac conductance are broadened by the transverse spin relaxation rate, the noise at finite field additionally involves the longitudinal rate as well as sharp kinks resulting in singular derivatives. Our results provide a consistent theoretical description of recent experimental data for the emission noise at zero magnetic field, and we propose the extension to finite field for which we present a detailed prediction.
In disordered metals, electron-electron interactions are the origin of a small correction to the conductivity, the Altshuler-Aronov correction. Here we investigate the Altshuler-Aronov correction of a conductor in which the electron motion is ballist ic and chaotic. We consider the case of a double quantum dot, which is the simplest example of a ballistic conductor in which the Altshuler-Aronov correction is nonzero. The fact that the electron motion is ballistic leads to an exponential suppression of the correction if the Ehrenfest time is larger than the mean dwell time or the inverse temperature.
A theory of non-equilibrium (``shot) noise and high frequency conductance in diffusive mesoscopic conductors with screening is presented. Detailed results are obtained for two simple geometries, for both large and short electron-electron scattering l ength $l_{ee}$, at frequencies of the order of the inverse Thouless time $1/tau_T$. The conductance and the noise are found to exhibit significant frequency dependence. For $L ll l_{ee}$, the high-frequency ($omegatau_T gg 1$) shot noise spectral density $S_I(omega)$ approaches a finite value between $2eI/3$ and $2eI$, depending on the screening properties of the system, with temperature corrections to $S_I(omega)$ being linear in $T$. However, when $L gg l_{ee}$, $S_I(omega)$ grows as $omega^{1/4}$ (at T=0), is not upper-bound by $2eI$, and has a temperature-dependent component quadratic in $T$. As a result, measurements of $S_I(omega, T)$ can be utilized as a probe of the strength of electron-electron scattering.

We have calculated the finite-frequency current noise of a superconductor-ferromagnet quantum point contact (SF QPC). This signal is qualitatively affected by the spin-dependence of interfacial phase shifts (SDIPS) acquired by electrons upon reflecti on on the QPC. For a weakly transparent QPC, noise steps appear at frequencies or voltages determined directly by the SDIPS. These steps can occur at experimentally accessible temperatures and frequencies. Finite frequency noise is thus a promising tool to characterize the scattering properties of a SF QPC.
