Scattering approach to counting statistics in quantum pumps

BA Muzykantskii, Y Adamov - Physical Review B, 2003 - APS
We consider the Fermi gas in a nonequilibrium state obtained by applying an arbitrary time-
dependent potential to the Fermi gas in the ground state. We present a general method that …

Measuring non-Gaussian fluctuations through incoherent Cooper-pair current

TT Heikkilä, P Virtanen, G Johansson, FK Wilhelm - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
We study a Josephson junction (JJ) in the regime of incoherent Cooper-pair tunneling,
capacitively coupled to a nonequilibrium noise source. The current-voltage (IV) …

Formulation of time-resolved counting statistics based on a positive-operator-valued measure

A Bednorz, W Belzig - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We propose a derivation of the full counting statistics of electronic current based on a
