Switching processes are widespread in nature and technology, from receptor switches in cell membranes to semiconductor transistors present in almost every electronic device today. They play a crucial role in communication, since the inherent discreteness of these processes leads to higher noise tolerance compared to analog communication. Another observation concerning information processing is the rapid miniaturization of integrated circuits that has taken place during the past six decades. The size of the components of an electronic device is reaching the regime where quantum interference and charge quantization become important. It is therefore necessary to investigate how electronic devices function at very small size scales. This thesis...
