Floquet theory of electron waiting times in quantum-coherent conductors.
We present a Floquet scattering theory of electron waiting time distributions in periodically driven quantum conductors. We employ a second-quantized formulation that allows us to relate the waiting time distribution to the Floquet scattering matrix of the system. As an application we evaluate the electron waiting times for a quantum point contact, modulating either the applied voltage (externa...
متن کاملElectron waiting times in mesoscopic conductors.
Electron transport in mesoscopic conductors has traditionally involved investigations of the mean current and the fluctuations of the current. A complementary view on charge transport is provided by the distribution of waiting times between charge carriers, but a proper theoretical framework for coherent electronic systems has so far been lacking. Here we develop a quantum theory of electron wa...
متن کاملDistributions of waiting times of dynamic single-electron emitters.
The distribution of waiting times between elementary tunneling events is of fundamental importance for understanding the stochastic charge transfer processes in nanoscale conductors. Here we investigate the waiting time distributions (WTDs) of periodically driven single-electron emitters and evaluate them for the specific example of a mesoscopic capacitor. We show that the WTDs provide a partic...
متن کاملElectron waiting times of a periodically driven single-electron turnstile
We investigate the distribution of waiting times between electrons emitted from a periodically driven single-electron turnstile. To this end, we develop a scheme for analytic calculations of the waiting time distributions for arbitrary periodic driving protocols. We illustrate the general framework by considering a driven tunnel junction before moving on to the more involved single-electron tur...
متن کاملMacroscopic channel-size effect of nonequilibrium electron distributions in quantum Hall conductors.
We have studied the channel-size dependence of nonequilibrium electrons excited into higher Landau levels in a quantum Hall conductor, by mapping cyclotron emission in Hall bars of different sizes. The images obtained reveal that the spatial evolution of the nonequilibrium electrons with current density significantly depends on the channel width of the Hall bar on a macroscopic scale of several...
