In this review we focus on electronic transport through semiconductor nanostructures which
are driven by ac fields. Along the review we describe the available experimental information …

A review of coherent and collective quantum optical effects like superradiance and coherent
population trapping in mesoscopic systems is presented. Various new physical realizations …

Adiabatic techniques are known to allow for engineering quantum states with high fidelity.
This requirement is currently of large interest, as applications in quantum information require …

In this paper, we investigate the thermoelectric performance of a double-dot device driven by
time-dependently modulated gate voltages. We show that if the modulation frequency Ω is …

We study nonadiabatic effects of geometric pumping. With arbitrary choices of periodic
control parameters, we go beyond the adiabatic approximation to obtain the exact pumping …

We investigate the influence of dissipation on one-and two-qubit rotations in coupled

Coherent manipulation of matter waves, a distinctive hallmark of quantum mechanics, is
fundamental to modern quantum technologies. Spatial adiabatic passage (SAP) is a prime …

We investigate the effect of a quantized vibrational mode on electron tunneling through a
chain of three quantum dots. The outer dots are coupled to voltage leads, but the position of …

For an open quantum system, we investigate the pumped current induced by a slow
modulation of control parameters on the basis of the quantum master equation and full …
