چکیده

Exact numerical results for the full counting statistics (FCS) of a one-dimensional tight-binding model of noninteracting electrons are presented at finite temperatures using an identity recently published by Abanov and Ivanov. A similar idea is used to derive an explicit expression for the cumulant generating function for a system consisting of two quasi-one-dimensional leads connected by a quantum dot in the long-time limit, generalizing the Levitov-Lesovik formula for two single-channel leads to systems with an arbitrary number of transverse channels.

Full counting statistics for noninteracting fermions: joint probability distributions.

The joint probability distribution in the full counting statistics (FCS) for noninteracting electrons is discussed for an arbitrary number of initially separate subsystems which are connected at t = 0 and separated again at a later time. A simple method to obtain the leading-order long-time contribution to the logarithm of the characteristic function is presented which simplifies earlier approa...

Universality in the full counting statistics of trapped fermions.

We study the distribution of particle number in extended subsystems of a one-dimensional noninteracting Fermi gas confined in a potential well at zero temperature. Universal features are identified in the scaled bulk and edge regions of the trapped gas where the full counting statistics are given by the corresponding limits of the eigenvalue statistics in Gaussian unitary random matrix ensemble...

Generalized-gradient-approximation noninteracting free-energy functionals for orbital-free density functional calculations

We develop a framework for orbital-free generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) for the noninteracting free energy density and its components (kinetic energy, entropy) based upon analysis of the corresponding gradient expansion. From that we obtain a new finite-temperature GGA (ftGGA) pair. We discuss implementation of the finite-temperature Thomas-Fermi, second-order gradient expansion, and...

Improved master equation approach to quantum transport: from Born to self-consistent Born approximation.

Beyond the second-order Born approximation, we propose an improved master equation approach to quantum transport under self-consistent Born approximation. The basic idea is to replace the free Green's function in the tunneling self-energy diagram by an effective reduced propagator under the Born approximation. This simple modification has remarkable consequences. It not only recovers the exact ...

Exact operator bosonization of finite number of fermions in one space dimension

We derive an exact operator bosonization of a finite number of fermions in one space dimension. The fermions can be interacting or noninteracting and can have an arbitrary hamiltonian, as long as there is a countable basis of states in the Hilbert space. In the bosonized theory the finiteness of the number of fermions appears as an ultraviolet cut-off. We discuss implications of this for the bo...
