AC Josephson effect without superconductivity, and other effects of radio frequency quantum nanoelectronics

ORAL

Abstract

With single coherent electron sources and electronic interferometers now~available in the lab, the time resolved dynamics of electrons can now be probed directly. I will discuss how a fast raise of voltage propagates inside an electronic interferometer and leads to an oscillating current of well controled frequency. This phenomena is the normal counterpart to the AC josephson effect. I will also briefly advertize our software for computing quantum transport properties, Kwant (\underline {http://kwant-project.org}) and its time-dependent extension T-Kwant.
