Abstract

The research carried out in this thesis covers several areas in the field of electron quantum transport, paying especial attention to the transient regime. On the one hand, Chaps. 3–5 are devoted to the analysis of quantum transport through nanojunctions coupled to normal metal electrodes. While Chap. 3 is focused on the non-interacting situation, Chaps. 4 and 5 analyze the effect of interactions in both transient and stationary regimes. On the other hand, Chaps. 6 and 7 are devoted to the superconducting nanojunction, investigating both the single particle observables and the system fluctuations. In this final chapter the general conclusions of the thesis are presented, discussing also some open questions and possible future possible research lines.
