We develop a theoretical activity on quantum transport, nano- and opto-mechanical systems, and molecular electronics. We are particularly interested to carbon nanotube mechanical resonators, fluctuations (current-noise, full-counting statistics), hybrid normal/superconducting systems, Josephson junctions, quantum coherence.
Research topics :
- Quantum transport in nanostructures
- Nano-Electro and Opto Mechanical Systems
- Molecular Electronics
