In conventional electronic devices such as field-effect transistors (FETs) or diodes, the size of the device is usually quite large, so that the wave nature of the electron or its discrete charge do not influence the behavior of the device. Furthermore, all individual components of these devices are of a size much larger than an individual atom. However, with the continuous shrinking of integra...

We propose a new generalization to quantum states of the Wasserstein distance, which is fundamental distance between probability distributions given by minimization transport cost. Our proposal first where plans are in natural correspondence with channels, such that can be interpreted as physical operation on system. main result proof modified triangle inequality for our distance. also prove st...

Based on the nonequilibrium Green's function technique, a unified theory is developed that covers quantum transport and quantum diffusion in bulk semiconductors on the same footing. This approach, which is applicable to transport via extended and localized states, extends previous semiphenomenological studies and puts them on a firm microscopic basis. The approach is sufficiently general and ap...

One of the new discoveries in quantum biology is the role of Environment Assisted Quantum Transport (ENAQT) in excitonic transport processes. In disordered quantum systems transport is most efficient when the environment just destroys quantum interferences responsible for localization, but the coupling does not drive the system to fully classical thermal diffusion yet. This poised realm between...

A globally controlled scheme for quantum transport is proposed. The scheme works on a 1D chain of nearest neighbor coupled systems of qudits (finite dimension), or qunats (continuous variable), taking any arbitrary initial quantum state of the chain and producing a final quantum state, which is perfectly spatially mirrored about the midpoint of the chain. As a particular novel application, the ...

Graphene is determined by a wonderful carrier transport property and high sensitivityat the surface of a single molecule, making them great as resources used in Nano electronic use.TGN is modeled in form of three honeycomb lattices with pairs of in-equivalent sites as {A1, B1},{A2, B2}, and {A3, B3} which are located in the top, center and bottom layers, respectively. Trilayer...

Graphene nanoribbons display an imperfectly understood transport gap. We measure transport through nanoribbon devices of several lengths. In long (>/=250 nm) nanoribbons we observe transport through multiple quantum dots in series, while shorter (</=60 nm) constrictions display behavior characteristic of single and double quantum dots. New measurements indicate that dot size may scale with cons...
