Full counting statistics of a chaotic cavity with asymmetric leads

چکیده
We study the statistics of charge transport in a chaotic cavity attached to external reservoirs by two openings of different size which transmit non-equal number of quantum channels. An exact formula for the cumulant generating function has been derived by means of the Keldysh-Green function technique within the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. The derived formula determines the full counting statistics of charge transport, i.e., the probability distribution and all-order cumulants of current noise. It is found that, for asymmetric cavities, in contrast to other mesoscopic systems, the third-order cumulant changes the sign at high biases. This effect is attributed to the skewness of the distribution of transmission eigenvalues with respect to forward/backward scattering. For a symmetric cavity we find that the third cumulant approaches a voltage-independent constant proportional to the temperature and the number of quantum channels in the leads.

Full counting statistics of Andreev scattering in an asymmetric chaotic cavity
We study the charge transport statistics in coherent two-terminal double junctions within the framework of the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. We obtain the general solution of the circuit-theory matrix equations for the Green’s function of a chaotic cavity between arbitrary contacts. As an example we discuss the full counting statistics and the first three cumulants for an open asymmet...
متن کاملStochastic path integral formulation of full counting statistics.
We derive a stochastic path integral representation of counting statistics in semiclassical systems. The formalism is introduced on the simple case of a single chaotic cavity with two quantum point contacts, and then further generalized to find the propagator for charge distributions with an arbitrary number of counting fields and generalized charges. The counting statistics is given by the sad...
متن کاملQuantum-to-classical crossover in full counting statistics.
The reduction of quantum scattering leads to the suppression of shot noise. In this Letter, we analyze the crossover from the quantum transport regime with universal shot noise to the classical regime where noise vanishes. By making use of the stochastic path integral approach, we find the statistics of transport and the transmission properties of a chaotic cavity as a function of a system para...
متن کاملStatistics of reflection eigenvalues in chaotic cavities with nonideal leads.
The scattering matrix approach is employed to determine a joint probability density function of reflection eigenvalues for chaotic cavities coupled to the outside world through both ballistic and tunnel point contacts. Derived under assumption of broken time-reversal symmetry, this result is further utilized to (i) calculate the density and correlation functions of reflection eigenvalues, and (...
