Cooper - Pair Tunneling : Counting Statistics and Frequency - Dependent Current Noise
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the counting statistics and current noise associated with the double Josephson quasiparticle resonance point in a superconducting single electron transistor. The counting statistics are in general phase-dependent, despite the fact that the average current has no dependence on phase. Focusing on parameter regimes where the counting statistics have no phase-dependence, we use a general relation first derived by MacDonald in 1948 to obtain the full frequency-dependent shot noise directly from the counting statistics, without any further approximations. We comment on problems posed by the phase-dependence of the counting statistics for the finite-frequency noise.

Current fluctuation spectrum in dissipative solid-state qubits
We present a formalism to calculate frequency dependent electron current noise for transport through two-level systems (such as coupled quantum dots or Cooper-pair boxes) in presence of dissipation. Perturbation theories in various regimes are formulated within a matrix scheme in Laplace scheme which we evaluate in detail both for weak and strong coupling to a bosonic environment.

متن کاملMeasuring non-Gaussian fluctuations through incoherent cooper-pair current.
We study a Josephson junction (JJ) in the regime of incoherent Cooper-pair tunneling, capacitively coupled to a nonequilibrium noise source. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the JJ are sensitive to the excess voltage fluctuations in the source, and can thus be used for wideband noise detection. Under weak driving, the odd part of the I-V can be related to the second cumulant of nois...
متن کاملCorrelated Cooper pair transport and microwave photon emission in the dynamical Coulomb blockade
We study theoretically electromagnetic radiation emitted by inelastic Cooper-pair tunneling. We consider a dc-voltage-biased superconducting transmission line terminated by a Josephson junction. We show that the generated continuous-mode electromagnetic field can be expressed as a function of the time-dependent current across the Josephson junction. The leading-order expansion in the tunneling ...
متن کاملac Josephson effect and resonant Cooper pair tunneling emission of a single Cooper pair transistor.
We measure the high-frequency emission of a single Cooper pair transistor (SCPT) in the regime where transport is only due to tunneling of Cooper pairs. This is achieved by coupling on chip the SCPT to a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction and by measuring the photon assisted tunneling current of quasiparticles across the junction. This technique allows a direct detection of the ac...
متن کاملCounting Statistics of Mesoscopic
Microscopic theory of counting statistics of electrical noise is reviewed. We discuss a model of passive charge detector based on current fluctuations coupled to a spin, and its relation with the theory of photon counting in quantum optics. The statistics of tunneling current and, in particular, the properties of the third moment are studied in detail. The third moment is shown to be temperatur...
