We consider mesoscopic fluctuations of the Coulomb drag coefficient $rho_D$ in the system of two separated two-dimensional electron gases. It is shown that at low temperatures sample to sample fluctuations of $rho_D$ exceed its ensemble average. It means that in such a regime the sign of $rho_D$ is random and the temperature dependence almost saturates $rho_D sim 1/sqrt{T}$.

We present the first experimental study of mesoscopic fluctuations of Coulomb drag in a system with two layers of composite fermions, which are seen when either the magnetic field or carrier concentration are varied. These fluctuations cause an alter nating sign of the average drag. We study these fluctuations at different temperatures to establish the dominant dephasing mechanism of composite fermions.
We consider mesoscopic fluctuations of Coulomb drag transresistivity between two layers at a Landau level filling factor $ u=1/2$ each. We find that at low temperature sample to sample fluctuations exceed both the ensemble average and the correspondi ng fluctuations at B=0. At the experimentally relevant temperatures, the variance of the transresistivity is proportional to $T^{-1/2}$. We find the dependence of this variance on density and magnetic field to reflect the attachment of two flux quanta to each electron.
We show that the Coulomb interaction between two circuits separated by an insulating layer leads to unconventional thermoelectric effects, such as the cooling by thermal current effect, the transverse thermoelectric effect and Maxwells demon effect. The first refers to cooling in one circuit induced by the thermal current in the other circuit. The middle represents electric power generation in one circuit by the temperature gradient in the other circuit. The physical picture of Coulomb drag between the two circuits is first demonstrated for the case with one quantum dot in each circuits and then elaborated for the case with two quantum dots in each circuits. In the latter case, the heat exchange between the two circuits can vanish. Last, we also show that the Maxwells demon effect can be realized in the four-terminal quantum dot thermoelectric system, in which the quantum system absorbs the heat from the high-temperature heat bath and releases the same heat to the low-temperature heat bath without any energy exchange with the two heat baths. Our study reveals the role of Coulomb interaction in non-local four-terminal thermoelectric transport.
We have observed reproducible fluctuations of the Coulomb drag, both as a function of magnetic field and electron concentration, which are a manifestation of quantum interference of electrons in the layers. At low temperatures the fluctuations exceed the average drag, giving rise to random changes of the sign of the drag. The fluctuations are found to be much larger than previously expected, and we propose a model which explains their enhancement by considering fluctuations of local electron properties.
When a few tens of charged particles are trapped in a spherical electrostatic potential at low temperature they form concentric shells resembling atoms. These ``artificial atoms can be easily controlled by varying the confinement strength. We analyze such systems for the case that the particles are bosons and find superfluid behavior which even persists in the solid state. This novel state of matter is a mesoscopic supersolid.
