Simulating quantum mechanics is known to be a difficult computational problem, especially
when dealing with large systems. However, this difficulty may be overcome by using some …

This review provides a theoretical basis for understanding the current-phase relation (CΦR)
for the stationary (dc) Josephson effect in various types of superconducting junctions. The …

We consider a two-dimensional electron gas with strong spin-orbit coupling contacted by
two superconducting leads, forming a Josephson junction. We show that in the presence of …

In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for
nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are …

For certain orientations of Josephson junctions between two px-wave or two d-wave
superconductors, the subgap Andreev bound states produce a 4π-periodic relation between …

Spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems is usually characterized by Rashba and
Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) linear in the wave vector. However, there is a …

This review deals with the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method applied to the
problems of energy transport due to atomic vibrations (phonons), primarily for small junction …

Abstract Majorana fermions are spin-1/2 neutral particles that are their own antiparticles and
were initially predicted by Ettore Majorana in particle physics but their observation still …

Odd-frequency superconductivity represents a truly unconventional ordered state which, in
contrast to conventional superconductivity, exhibits pair correlations which are odd in …

Quantum engineering–the design and fabrication of quantum coherent structures–has
emerged as a field in physics with important potential applications. This book provides a self …
