โฆ Synopsis
Amplitude of the Coulomb blockade oscillations is calculated for a single-mode Josephson junction with large electron transparency D. It is shown that the Coulomb blockade is suppressed as D + 1. The suppression is described quantitatively in terms of the Landau-Zener transition in imaginary time.

The dc Josephson effect in a superconducting quantum point contact, where supercurrent flows through a small number of channels, is reviewed. The central role of Andreev levels is emphasized which carry the whole supercurrent in short symmetric Josephson junctions including tunnel junctions. A simpl
We describe recent measurements of the statistics and parametric correlations of Coulomb blockade peak heights in shape-deformable GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum dots. We find good agreement between the measured distributions of peak heights and probability distributions predicted by random matrix theo
We have studied conductance oscillations of a quantum dot by varying the gate potential of one of the gate pairs, that forms the quantum dot, while the other pair was kept at a constant potential. The potential was varied from pinch-off to a level where two or more transverse modes were transmitted
