Out of Equilibrium quantum coherent phenomena in fermionic systems

At low temperatures, where decoherence effects from the environment are strongly reduced, quantum phase coherent effects become observable, leading to remarkable deviations from the prediction of classical physics such as the violation of Ohm’s law, the emergence of macroscopically coherent superconducting phases, and local convergence to out of equilibrium distributions. In our group we investigate various types of quantum coherent phenomena:

• Coherent Quantum Transport in mesoscopic nanodevices
• Quantum quenches in low-dimensional fermionic systems
• Josephson effect and electron transport in hybrid junctions with superconductors
