We develop a theoretical approach to study the transient dynamics and the time-dependent statistics for the Anderson-Holstein model in the regime of strong electron-phonon coupling. For this purpose we adapt a recently introduced diagrammatic approach to the time domain. The generating function for the time-dependent charge transfer probabilities is evaluated numerically by discretizing the Keldysh contour. The method allows us to analyze the system evolution to the steady state after a sudden connection of the dot to the leads, starting from different initial conditions. Simple analytical results are obtained in the regime of very short times. We study in particular the apparent bistable behavior occurring for strong electron-phonon coupling, small bias voltages and a detuned dot level. The results obtained are in remarkable good agreement with numerically exact results obtained by Quantum Monte Carlo methods. We analyze the waiting time distribution and charge transfer probabilities, showing that only a single electron transfer is responsible for the rich structure found in the short times regime. A universal scaling (independent of the model parameters) is found for the relative amplitude of the higher order current cumulants in the short times regime, starting from an initially empty dot. We finally analyze the convergence to the steady state of the differential conductance and of the differential Fano factor at the inelastic threshold, which exhibits a peculiar oscillatory behavior.

In this work, we study the short time dynamics of a molecular junction described by Anderson-Holstein model using full-counting statistics after projective measurement. The coupling between the central quantum dot (QD) and two leads was turned on at
remote past and the system is evolved to steady state at time $t=0$, when we perform the projective measurement in one of the lead. Generating function for the charge transfer is expressed as a Fredholm determinant in terms of Keldysh nonequilibrium Greens function in the time domain. It is found that the current is not constant at short times indicating that the measurement does perturb the system. We numerically compare the current behaviors after the projective measurement with those in the transient regime where the subsystems are connected at $t=0$. The universal scaling for high-order cumulants is observed for the case with zero QD occupation due to the unidirectional transport at short times. The influences of electron-phonon interaction on short time dynamics of electric current, shot noise and differential conductance are analyzed.
We consider a normal-superconducting junction in order to investigate the effect of new physical ingredients on waiting times. First, we study the interplay between Andreev and specular scattering at the interface on the distribution of waiting times
of electrons or holes separately. In that case the distribution is not altered dramatically compared to the case of a single quantum channel with a quantum point contact since the interface acts as an Andreev mirror for holes. We then consider a fully entangled state originating from spliting of Cooper pairs at the interface and demonstrate a significant enhancement of the probability to detect two consecutive electrons in a short time interval. Finally, we discuss the electronic waiting time distribution in the more realistic situation of partial entanglement.
The coupling of the charge carriers passing through a molecule bridging two bulky conductors with local vibrational modes of the molecule, gives rise to distinct features in the electronic transport properties on one hand, and to nonequilibrium featu
res in the vibrations properties, e.g., their population, on the other. Here we explore theoretically a generic model for a molecular junction biased by an arbitrary dc voltage in the weak-coupling regime. We analyze the signature of the electron-vibration interaction on the full-counting statistics of the current fluctuations (i.e., the cumulant generating-function of the current correlations), we give a detailed account of the response to an ac field exerted on the junction (on top of the dc bias voltage), we study the nonequilibrium distribution of the vibrational modes and the fluctuations they cause in the displacement of the molecule center of mass. The calculations use the technique of nonequilibrium Greens functions, and treat the electron-vibration coupling in perturbation theory, within the random-phase approximation when required.
We investigate the waiting time distributions (WTDs) of superconducting hybrid junctions, considering both conventional and topologically nontrivial superconductors hosting Majorana bound states at their edges. To this end, we employ a scattering mat
rix formalism that allows us to evaluate the waiting times between the transmissions and reflections of electrons or holes. Specifically, we analyze normal-metal-superconductor (NIS) junctions and NISIN junctions, where Cooper pairs are spatially split into different leads. The distribution of waiting times is sensitive to the simultaneous reflection of electrons and holes, which is enhanced by the zero-energy state in topological superconductors. For the NISIN junctions, the WTDs of trivial superconductors feature a sharp dependence on the applied voltage, while for topological ones they are mostly independent of it. This particular voltage dependence is again connected to the presence of topological edge states, showing that WTDs are a promising tool for identifying topological superconductivity.
We propose a very accurate computational scheme for the dynamics of a classical oscillator coupled to a molecular junction driven by a finite bias, including the finite mass effect. We focus on two minimal models for the molecular junction: Anderson-
Holstein (AH) and two-site Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) models. As concerns the oscillator dynamics, we are able to recover a Langevin equation confirming what found by other authors with different approaches and assessing that quantum effects come from the electronic subsystem only. Solving numerically the stochastic equation, we study the position and velocity distribution probabilities of the oscillator and the electronic transport properties at arbitrary values of electron-oscillator interaction, gate and bias voltages. The range of validity of the adiabatic approximation is established in a systematic way by analyzing the behaviour of the kinetic energy of the oscillator. Due to the dynamical fluctuations, at intermediate bias voltages, the velocity distributions deviate from a gaussian shape and the average kinetic energy shows a non monotonic behaviour. In this same regime of parameters, the dynamical effects favour the conduction far from electronic resonances where small currents are observed in the infinite mass approximation. These effects are enhanced in the two-site SSH model due to the presence of the intermolecular hopping t. Remarkably, for sufficiently large hopping with respect to tunneling on the molecule, small interaction strengths and at intermediate bias (non gaussian regime), we point out a correspondence between the minima of the kinetic energy and the maxima of the dynamical conductance.
