We develop a finite-element technique that allows one to evaluate correction of the order of $G_Q$ to various transport characteristics of arbitrary nanostructures. Common examples of such corrections are weak localization effect on conductance and universal conductance fluctuations. Our approach, however, is not restricted to conductance only. It allows in the same manner to evaluate corrections to noise characteristics, superconducting properties, strongly non-equilibrium transport and transmission distribution. To enable such functionality, we consider Green functions of arbitrary matrix structure. We derive a finite-element technique from Cooperon and Diffuson ladders for these Greens functions. The derivation is supplemented with application examples. Those include transitions between ensembles and Aharonov-Bohm effect.

Quantum phase transitions are ubiquitous in many exotic behaviors of strongly-correlated materials. However the microscopic complexity impedes their quantitative understanding. Here, we observe thoroughly and comprehend the rich strongly-correlated p hysics in two profoundly dissimilar regimes of quantum criticality. With a circuit implementing a quantum simulator for the three-channel Kondo model, we reveal the universal scalings toward different low-temperature fixed points and along the multiple crossovers from quantum criticality. Notably, an unanticipated violation of the maximum conductance for ballistic free electrons is uncovered. The present charge pseudospin implementation of a Kondo impurity opens access to a broad variety of strongly-correlated phenomena.
We analyze the transport properties of bilayer quantum Hall systems at total filling factor $ u=1$ in drag geometries as a function of interlayer bias, in the limit where the disorder is sufficiently strong to unbind meron-antimeron pairs, the charge d topological defects of the system. We compute the typical energy barrier for these objects to cross incompressible regions within the disordered system using a Hartree-Fock approach, and show how this leads to multiple activation energies when the system is biased. We then demonstrate using a bosonic Chern-Simons theory that in drag geometries, current in a single layer directly leads to forces on only two of the four types of merons, inducing dissipation only in the drive layer. Dissipation in the drag layer results from interactions among the merons, resulting in very different temperature dependences for the drag and drive layers, in qualitative agreement with experiment.
We develop a quantum noise approach to study quantum transport through nanostructures. The nanostructures, such as quantum dots, are regarded as artificial atoms, subject to quasi-equilibrium fermionic reservoirs of electrons in biased leads. Noise o perators characterizing the quantum fluctuation in the reservoirs are related to the damping and fluctuation of the artificial atoms through the quantum Langevin equation. The average current and current noise are derived in terms of the reservoir noise correlations. In the white-noise limit, we show that the current and current noise can be exactly calculated by the quantum noise approach, even in the presence of interaction such as Coulomb blockade. As a typical application, the average current and current noise through a single quantum dot are studied.
We discuss the heat transfer by photons between two metals coupled by a linear element with a reactive impedance. Using a simple circuit approach, we calculate the spectral power transmitted from one resistor to the other and find that it is determin ed by the photon transmission coefficient, which depends on the impedances of the metals and the coupling element. We study the total photonic power flow for different coupling impedances, both in the linear regime, where the temperature difference between the metals is small, and in the non-linear regime of large temperature differences.
We report experimental and theoretical studies of edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) transport in quantum Hall (QH) devices. We develop a model that allows us to calculate the transport coefficients of EMPs in QH devices with various geometries. In our model, a QH system is described as a chiral distributed-element (CDE) circuit, where the effects of Coulomb interaction are represented by an electrochemical capacitance distributed along unidirectional transmission lines. We measure the EMP transport coefficients through single- and coupled-edge channels, a quantum point contact, and single- and double-cavity structures. These measured transmission spectra can be reproduced well by simulations using the corresponding CDE circuits. By fitting the experimental results with the simulations, we deduce the circuit parameters that characterize the electrostatic environment around the edge channels in a realistic QH system. The observed gate-voltage dependences of the EMP transport properties in gate-defined structures are explained in terms of the gate tuning of the circuit parameters in CDE circuits.
