Floquet theory of electron waiting times in quantum-coherent conductors.
We present a Floquet scattering theory of electron waiting time distributions in periodically driven quantum conductors. We employ a second-quantized formulation that allows us to relate the waiting time distribution to the Floquet scattering matrix of the system. As an application we evaluate the electron waiting times for a quantum point contact, modulating either the applied voltage (externa...
متن کاملQuantum Optics Theory of Electronic Noise in Coherent Conductors.
We consider the electromagnetic field generated by a coherent conductor in which electron transport is described quantum mechanically. We obtain an input-output relation linking the quantum current in the conductor to the measured electromagnetic field. This allows us to compute the outcome of measurements on the field in terms of the statistical properties of the current. We moreover show how ...
متن کاملInteracting Electrodynamics of Short Coherent Conductors in Quantum Circuits
When combining lumped mesoscopic electronic components to form a circuit, quantum fluctuations of electrical quantities lead to a nonlinear electromagnetic interaction between the components, which is generally not understood. The Landauer-Büttiker formalism that is frequently used to describe noninteracting coherent mesoscopic components is not directly suited to describe such circuits since i...
متن کاملOn the Thermoelectricity of W. Thomson: Towards a Theory of Thermoelastic Conductors
Thomson’s classical analysis (1851, 1854a, 1854b) of thermoelectricity is cast into a modern form by means of contemporary thermodynamic methods based on the introduction of a free energy depending on strain, electrical charge and temperature. The present analysis identifies the phenomenological coefficients in Thomson’s theory in terms of standard thermodynamic functions derivable from the fre...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
