We review the quantum interference effects in a system of interacting electrons confined to a quantum dot. The review starts with a description of an isolated quantum dot. We discuss the status of the Random Matrix theory (RMT) of the one-electron states in the dot, present the universal form of the interaction Hamiltonian compatible with the RMT, and derive the leading corrections to the universal interaction Hamiltonian. Next, we discuss a theoretical description of a dot connected to leads via point contacts. Having established the theoretical framework to describe such an open system, we discuss its transport and thermodynamic properties. We review the evolution of the transport properties with the increase of the contact conductances from small values to values $sim e^2/pihbar$. In the discussion of transport, the emphasis is put on mesoscopic fluctuations and the Kondo effect in the conductance.

Interfacing s-wave superconductors and quantum spin Hall edges produces time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity of a type that can not arise in strictly 1D systems. With the aim of establishing sharp fingerprints of this novel phase, we
use renormalization group methods to extract universal transport characteristics of superconductor/quantum spin Hall heterostructures where the native edge states serve as leads. We determine scaling forms for the conductance through a grounded superconductor and show that the results depend sensitively on the interaction strength in the leads, the size of the superconducting region, and the presence or absence of time-reversal-breaking perturbations. We also study transport across a floating superconducting island isolated by magnetic barriers. Here we predict e-periodic Coulomb-blockade peaks, as recently observed in nanowire devices [Albrecht et al., Nature 531, 206 (2016)], with the added feature that the island can support fractional charge tunable via the relative orientation of the barrier magnetizations. As an interesting corollary, when the magnetic barriers arise from strong interactions at the edge that spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry, the Coulomb-blockade periodicity changes from e to e/2. These findings suggest several future experiments that probe unique characteristics of topological superconductivity at the quantum spin Hall edge.
We observe and comprehend the dynamical Coulomb blockade suppression of the electrical conductance across an electronic quantum channel submitted to a temperature difference. A broadly tunable, spin-polarized Ga(Al)As quantum channel is connected on-
chip, through a micron-scale metallic node, to a linear $RC$ circuit. The latter is made up of the nodes geometrical capacitance $C$ in parallel with an adjustable resistance $Rin {1/2,1/3,1/4}times h/e^2$ formed by 2--4 quantum Hall channels. The system is characterized by three temperatures: a temperature of the electrons in the large electrodes ($T$) and in the node ($T_mathrm{node}$), and a temperature of the electromagnetic modes of the $RC$ circuit ($T_mathrm{env}$). The temperature in the node is selectively increased by local Joule dissipation, and characterized from current fluctuations. For a quantum channel in the tunnel regime, a close match is found between conductance measurements and tunnel dynamical Coulomb blockade theory. In the opposite near ballistic regime, we develop a theory that accounts for different electronic and electromagnetic bath temperatures, again in very good agreement with experimental data. Beyond these regimes, for an arbitrary quantum channel set in the far out-of-equilibrium situation where the temperature in the node significantly exceeds the one in the large electrodes, the equilibrium (uniform temperature) prediction for the conductance is recovered, albeit at a rescaled temperature $alpha T_mathrm{node}$.
The conductance through a quantum wire of cylindrical cross section and a weak bulge is solved exactly for two electrons within the Landauer-Buettiker formalism. We show that this open quantum dot exhibits spin-dependent Coulomb blockade resonances r
esulting in two anomalous structure on the rising edge to the first conductance plateau, one near 0.25(2e^2/h), related to a singlet resonance, and one near 0.7(2e^2/h), related to a triplet resonance. These resonances are generic and robust, occurring for other types of quantum wire and surviving to temperatures of a few degrees.
We report the observation of Coulomb blockade in a quantum dot contacted by two quantum point contacts each with a single fully-transmitting mode, a system previously thought to be well described without invoking Coulomb interactions. At temperatures
below 50 mK we observe a periodic oscillation in the conductance of the dot with gate voltage that corresponds to a residual quantization of charge. From the temperature and magnetic field dependence, we infer the oscillations are Mesoscopic Coulomb Blockade, a type of Coulomb blockade caused by electron interference in an otherwise open system.
A mesoscopic Coulomb blockade system with two identical transport channels is studied in terms of full counting statistics. It is found that the average current cannot distinguish the quantum constructive interference from the classical non-interfere
nce, but the shot noise and skewness are more sensitive to the nature of quantum mechanical interference and can fulfill that task. The interesting super-Poisson shot noise is found and is demonstrated as a consequence of constructive interference, which induces an effective system with fast-and-slow transport channels. Dephasing effects on the counting statistics are carried out to display the continuous transition from quantum interfering to non-interfering transports.
