Quantum Transport and Nanodevices

Research

The Quantum Transport and Nanodevices group has an eclectic soul. Its members are affiliate to the University of Genoa, to the Centro Nazionale di Ricerche (CNR-SPIN) and to the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). The research activities are centered around various theoretical aspects of condensed matter physics in a deep understanding of quantum transport phenomena. The theoretical backgrounds and the different skills of the members naturally melt in the group, leading to a broad investigations of the topics. Our group is interested in transport and collective properties of low-dimensional mesoscopic systems. Here is a partial list of the topics we are interested into:

       

Quantum transport in nanodevices

  • Shot noise and full counting statistics in correlated nanostructures
  • Transport properties of non-Fermi liquids
  • Quantum pumping
  • Non-Markovian effects
  • Quantum transport in the Wigner molecule regime
  • Dissipative and decoherence effects


Quantum Hall liquids

  • Effective field theories of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
  • Chiral Luttinger Liquid and edge states
  • Shot noise and transport for composite edge states
  • Non-Abelian statistics in Fractional Quantum Hall fluids
  • Shot noise and interferometric properties via tunneling regions

Nano-electromechanical systems

  • Out of equilibrium electron and phonon distributions
  • Coherent dynamics of vibronic modes
  • Electron-phonon coupling in suspended carbon nanotubes
  • Non-classical states of vibronic systems
