Electron Counting Statistics and Coherent States of Electric Current
A theory of electron counting statistics in quantum transport is presented. It involves an idealized scheme of current measurement using a spin 1/2 coupled to the current so that it precesses at the rate proportional to the current. Within such an approach, counting charge without breaking the circuit is possible. As an application, we derive the counting statistics in a single channel conducto...
متن کاملFull counting statistics of electron transfer between superconductors.
We present an extension of the Keldysh-Green's function method, which allows one to calculate the full distribution of transmitted particles through a mesoscopic superconductor. The method is applied to the statistics of supercurrent in short contacts. If the current is carried by Andreev bound states the distribution corresponds to switching between long trains of electrons going in opposite d...
متن کاملCounting statistics of single electron transport in a quantum dot.
We have measured the full counting statistics of current fluctuations in a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) by real-time detection of single electron tunneling with a quantum point contact. This method gives direct access to the distribution function of current fluctuations. Suppression of the second moment (related to the shot noise) and the third moment (related to the asymmetry of the distribu...
متن کاملCounting statistics for electron capture in a dynamic quantum dot.
We report noninvasive single-charge detection of the full probability distribution P(n) of the initialization of a quantum dot with n electrons for rapid decoupling from an electron reservoir. We analyze the data in the context of a model for sequential tunneling pinch-off, which has generic solutions corresponding to two opposing mechanisms. One limit considers sequential "freeze-out" of an ad...
متن کاملElectron transport through molecules: Self-consistent and non-self-consistent approaches
A self-consistent method for calculating electron transport through a molecular device is developed. It is based on density functional theory electronic structure calculations under periodic boundary conditions and implemented in the framework of the nonequilibrium Green function approach. To avoid the substantial computational cost in finding the I-V characteristic of large systems, we also de...
