The possibility to create and manipulate conductors of the nanometer scale has given birth to a set of phenomena that have revolutionized physics: quantum Hall effects, persistent currents, weak localization, Coulomb blockade, etc. This Special Issue tackles the latest developments in the field. Contributors discuss time-dependent transport, quantum pumping, nanoscale heat engines and motors, molecular junctions, electron-electron correlations in confined systems, quantum thermo-electrics and current fluctuations. The works included herein represent an up-to-date account of exciting research with a broad impact in both fundamental and applied topics.Technology: general issuesbicsscadiabatic quantum motorsadiabatic quantum pumpsAnreev reflectionBoltzmann transport equationcharge and heat fluctuationsComplementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technologyconditional statesconditional wavefunctioncoulomb blockadedensity-functional tight bindingdynamics of strongly correlated quantum systemselectron quantum opticselectron-electron interactionselectron-phonon couplingelectron-photon couplingelectron-vibration interactionselectronic transportentropy productionfluctuation-dissipation theoremfluctuationsgeometric phasegraphene nanoribbonsgreen's functionsheat enginesheat transportinterferometerkondo effectKondo effectLandauer approach, time-dependent transportLandauer-Büttiker formalismlocal fermi liquidsMarkovian and Non-Markovian dynamicsmesoscale and nanoscale physicsmesoscopic physicsmesoscopic systemsmolecular junctionsnanophysicsnanostructured materialsnonadiabaticitynonequilibrium Green's functionnonlinear transportOnsager relationsopen quantum systemspersistent currentphonon transportphoto-assisted noisequantum adiabatic pumpquantum capacitorquantum dotsquantum electron transportquantum heat enginesquantum heat pumpingquantum informationquantum interferencequantum noisequantum pumpingquantum refrigeratorsquantum thermodynamicsquantum transportrelaxationRenyi entropyshot noisespin polarizationspin pumpspin pumpingspin-orbit interactionsteady-state dynamicsstochastic Schrödinger equationstrongly correlated systemssuperconducting proximity effectthermal transportthermodynamic uncertainty relationsthermoelectric propertiesthermoelectricitythermoelectricstime evolutiontime-dependent density functional theorytime-dependent transporttransport through quantum dotsTechnology: general issuesSánchez DavidedtMoskalets MichaeledtSánchez DavidothMoskalets MichaelothBOOK9910557142403321Quantum Transport in Mesoscopic Systems3031989UNINA
