This thesis is devoted to the study of quantum mechanical effects that arise in systems of reduced dimensionality. Specifically, we investigate coherence and correlation effects in quantum transport models. In the first part, we present a theory of Markovian and non- Markovian current correlations in nanoscopic conductors. The theory is applied to obtain the spectrum of quantum noise and high-order current correlations at finite frequencies in quantum-dot systems. One of the main conclusions is that only the non-Markovian approach contains the physics of vacuum fluctuations. In the second part, we study the coupling of superconducting qubits to optical atomic systems and to cavity resonators. We propose a hybrid quantum system consisting of a flux qubit coupled to NV centers in diamond. We also demonstrate the existence of the so-called Bloch-Siegert shift in the ultra-strong coupling regime between a flux qubit and a LC resonator. Throughout the thesis, we make special emphasis on the study of decoherence effects produced by the distinct dissipative baths to which the various types of qubits presented in this thesis are inevitably coupled.
