• Abstract: Shot noise, originating from the discrete nature of electric charge, is generated by scattering processes. Shot-noise measurements have revealed microscopic charge dynamics in various quantum transport phenomena. In particular, beyond the single-particle picture, such measurements have proved to be powerful ways to investigate electron correlation in quantum liquids. Here, we review the recent progress of shot-noise measurements in mesoscopic physics. This review summarizes the basics of shot-noise theory based on the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism, measurement techniques used in previous studies, and several recent experiments demonstrating electron scattering processes. We then discuss three different kinds of quantum liquids, namely those formed by, respectively, the Kondo effect, the fractional quantum Hall effect, and superconductivity. Finally, we discuss current noise within the framework of nonequilibrium statistical physics and review related experiments. We hope that this review will convey the significance of shot-noise measurements to a broad range of researchers in condensed matter physics.

  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

• Light emission is fundamentally tied to the quantum coherence of the emitting particle [0.0]
  We show that even in seemingly classical experimental regimes, light emission is tied to quantum properties of the emitting particles. By employing quantum electrodynamics, we unveil the role of the particle's coherent momentum uncertainty. We find instead that the shockwave's duration is fundamentally bound from below by the particle's coherent momentum uncertainty.
