We investigate the transitions induced by external current fluctuations on a small probe quantum system. The rates for the transitions between the energy states are calculated using the real-time Keldysh formalism for the density matrix evolution. We especially detail the effects of the third cumulant of current fluctuations inductively coupled to a quantum bit and propose a setup for detecting the frequency-dependent third cumulant through the transitions it induces.

At the interface between a ferromagnetic insulator and a superconductor there is a coupling between the spins of the two materials. We show that when a supercurrent carried by triplet Cooper pairs flows through the superconductor, the coupling induce s a magnon spin current in the adjacent ferromagnetic insulator. The effect is dominated by Cooper pairs polarized in the same direction as the ferromagnetic insulator, so that charge and spin supercurrents produce similar results. Our findings demonstrate a way of converting Cooper pair supercurrents to magnon spin currents.

The existence of the third cumulant $S_{3}$ of voltage fluctuations has demonstrated the non-Gaussian aspect of shot noise in electronic transport. Until now, measurements have been performed at low frequency, textit{i.e.} in the classical regime $hb ar omega < eV, k_BT$ where voltage fluctuations arise from charge transfer process. We report here the first measurement of $S_3$ at high frequency, in the quantum regime $hbar omega > eV, k_BT$. In this regime, experiment cannot be seen as a charge counting statistics problem anymore. It raises central questions of the statistics of quantum noise: 1) the electromagnetic environment of the sample has been proven to strongly influence the measurement, through the possible modulation of the noise of the sample. What happens to this mechanism in the quantum regime? 2) For $hbar omega > eV$, the noise is due to zero point fluctuations and keeps its equilibrium value: $S_2= G hbar omega$ with $G$ the conductance of the sample. Therefore, $S_2$ is independent of the bias voltage and no photon is emitted by the conductor. Is it possible, as suggested by some theories, that $S_3 eq 0$ in this regime? With regard to these questions, we give theoretical and experimental answers to the environmental effects showing that they involve dynamics of the quantum noise. Using these results, we investigate the question of the third cumulant of quantum noise in the a tunnel junction.

The proximity effect (PE) between superconductor and confined electrons can induce the effective pairing phenomena of electrons in nanowire or quantum dot (QD). Through interpreting the PE as an exchange of virtually quasi-excitation in a largely gap ped superconductor, we found that there exists another induced dynamic process. Unlike the effective pairing that mixes the QD electron states coherently, this extra process leads to dephasing of the QD. In a case study, the dephasing time is inversely proportional to the Coulomb interaction strength between two electrons in the QD. Further theoretical investigations imply that this dephasing effect can decrease the quality of the zero temperature mesoscopic electron transportation measurements by lowering and broadening the corresponding differential conductance peaks.
Transitions to immeasurably small electrical resistance in thin films of Ag/Au nanostructure-based films have generated significant interest because such transitions can occur even at ambient temperature and pressure. While the zero-bias resistance a nd magnetic transition in these films have been reported recently, the non-equilibrium current-voltage ($I-V$) transport characteristics at the transition remains unexplored. Here we report the $I-V$ characteristics at zero magnetic field of a prototypical Ag/Au nanocluster film close to its resistivity transition at the critical temperature $T_{C}$ of $approx160$ K. The $I-V$ characteristics become strongly hysteretic close to the transition and exhibit a temperature-dependent critical current scale beyond which the resistance increases rapidly. Intriguingly, the non-equilibrium transport regime consists of a series of nearly equispaced resistance steps when the drive current exceeds the critical current. We have discussed the similarity of these observations with resistive transitions in ultra-thin superconducting wires via phase slip centres.

We report the first experimental data of the third moment of current fluctuations in a tunnel junction. We show that both in the classical and quantum regimes (low or high frequency as compared to voltage), it is given by $S_{I^3}=e^2I$. We discuss environmental effects in both regimes.
