The controlled and accurate emission of coherent electronic wave packets is of prime
importance for future applications of nanoscale electronics. Here, we present a theoretical …

We investigate different types of time-dependently driven single-particle sources whose
common feature is that they produce pulses of integer charge and minimally excite the Fermi …

We evaluate the distribution of waiting times between electrons emitted by a driven
mesoscopic capacitor. Based on a wave packet approach we obtain analytic expressions for …

We propose a device consisting of an antidot periodically driven in time by a magnetic field
as a fractional quantum Hall counterpart of the celebrated mesoscopic capacitor-based …

We study a coherent conductor supporting a single edge channel in which alternating
current pulses are created by local time-dependent gating and sent on a beam-splitter …

We demonstrate the energy-and time-resolved detection of single-electron wave packets
from a clock-controlled source transmitted through a high-energy quantum Hall edge …

In analogy with quantum optics, short-time correlations of the current fluctuations are
measured and used to assess the quality of the single-particle emission of a recently …

A periodically driven quantum capacitor may function as an on-demand single-electron
source as it has recently been demonstrated experimentally. However, the accuracy at …

A quantum coherent capacitor subject to large amplitude pulse cycles can be made to emit
or reabsorb an electron in each half cycle. Quantized currents with pulse cycles in the GHz …

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have large potential to realize quantum-optics-like
experiments with single flying electrons employing their spin or charge degree of freedom …
