Abstract

The fluctuations are termed mesoscopic, when their typical size is essentially larger than the average distance between the nearest neighbors, while being much smaller than the overall system size. Since the features of mesoscopic fluctuations are essentially different from those of the surrounding matter, they can be interpreted as fluctuations of one phase occurring inside another host phase. In condensed matter, these fluctuations are of nanosize. They can occur in many-body systems of different nature, for instance, they are typical for condensed matter, can appear in systems of trapped atoms, and also arise in biological and social systems. A survey of the experimental evidence for the occurrence of mesoscopic fluctuations in different materials and systems is given. The main attention is paid to a general theoretical approach for describing them. Applications of the approach are also discussed.

MESOSCOPIC PHASE FLUCTUATIONS: GENERAL PHENOMENON IN CONDENSED MATTER

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov

General conditions for the occurrence of mesoscopic phase fluctuations in condensed matter are considered. The description of different thermodynamic phases, which coexist as a mixture of mesoscopically separated regions, is based on the theory of heterophase fluctuations. The spaces of states, typical of the related phases, are characterized by weighted Hilbert spaces. Several models illustrate the main features of heterophase condensed matter.

Quantum fluctuations and transport in mesoscopic physics

Teemu Ojanen

Mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronics concentrate on systems with dimensions somewhere between atomic and everyday macroscopic scale. Modern technology enables construction of submicron nanostructures where modeling based on classical physics has proven inadequate. It is possible to design electric circuits where dynamics of single electrons and photons are controlled using state-of-the-art experimental methods. For quantitative understanding of these systems it is necessary to resort to a quantum-mechanical description. Quantum phenomena, such as tunneling and a wave-like interference of particles, are essential ingredients of physics in mesoscopic systems. Field of mesoscopic physics contains a rich variety of topics ranging from fundamental condensed matter physics to quantum information processing and possible future technological applications. \n \nThis thesis presents theoretical studies of mesoscopic quantum phenomena in nanostructures and small electronic devices. We have focused on effects of environment fluctuations and investigated connections between fluctuations and transport phenomena. Decoherence in quantum bits (qubits) and quantum state engineering in superconducting circuits are also studied. The theoretical analysis in each case requires an open-system treatment. \n \nEffects of current fluctuations on quantum probe systems have been studied in detail. We have calculated transitions induced by current noise and discussed how these could be used for characterization of fluctuations. We have also shown that electric fluctuations play a key role in radiation and photon heat transport in nanostructures. Motivated by recent advances in mesoscopic electron-photon systems, we have studied a response of a coupled resonator-qubit system, squeezing of quantum fluctuations in small superconducting circuits and investigated decoherence in Josephson flux qubits.

Quantum phase transitions

Matthias Vojta C

In recent years, quantum phase transitions have attracted the interest of both theorists and experimentalists in condensed matter physics. These transitions, which are accessed at zero temperature by variation of a non-thermal control parameter, can influence the behaviour of electronic systems over a wide range of the phase diagram. Quantum phase transitions occur as a result of competing ground state phases. The cuprate superconductors which can be tuned from a Mott insulating to a d -wave superconducting phase by carrier doping are a paradigmatic example. This review introduces important concepts of phase transitions and discusses the interplay of quantum and classical fluctuations near criticality. The main part of the article is devoted to bulk quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems. Several classes of transitions will be briefly reviewed, pointing out, e.g., conceptual differences between ordering transitions in metallic and insulating systems. An interesting separate class of transitions is boundary phase transitions where only degrees of freedom of a subsystem become critical; this will be illustrated in a few examples. The article is aimed at bridging the gap between high-level theoretical presentations and research papers specialized in certain classes of materials. It will give an overview on a variety of different quantum transitions, critically discuss open theoretical questions, and frequently make contact with recent experiments in condensed matter physics.
