Full counting statistics of a superconducting beam splitter.

چکیده
We study the statistics of charge transport in a mesoscopic three-terminal device with one superconducting terminal and two normal-metal terminals. We calculate the full distribution of transmitted charges into the two symmetrically biased normal terminals. In a wide parameter range, we find large positive cross correlations between the currents in the two normal arms. We also determine the third cumulant that provides additional information on the statistics not contained in the current noise.

Atom interferometric detection of the pairing order parameter in a Fermi gas.
We propose two interferometric schemes to experimentally detect in real space the onset of pair condensation in a two-spin-component Fermi gas. Two atomic wave packets are coherently extracted from the gas at different positions and are mixed by a matter-wave beam splitter: we show that the spatial long-range order of the atomic pairs in the gas reflects in the atom counting statistics in the b...
متن کاملPhoton Counting Sampling of Phase Space
First complete experimental characterisation of the quantum state of a single light mode was demonstrated by Smithey et al. In their work, numerical tomographic algorithms were applied to reconstruct the Wigner function from homodyne statistics. Recently, a novel scheme for measuring the quantum state of light by photon counting has been proposed. In contrast to tomographic techniques, the newl...
متن کاملPolarizing beam-splitter based on defective photonic crystals
The performance of a polarizing beam splitter based on the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs), is theoretically investigated. The polarizing beam splitter consists of a symmetric stack of the low-index quarter-wave plates and the high-index half-wave plates with a central defect layer of air. The linear transmission properties of the polarizing beam splitter are numerically simulat...
متن کاملFull Counting Statistics in Quantum Contacts
Full counting statistics is a fundamentally new concept in quantum transport. After a review of basic statistics theory, we introduce the powerful Green’s function approach to full counting statistics. To illustrate the concept we consider a number of examples. For generic two-terminal contacts we show how counting statistics elucidates the common (and different) features of transport between n...
متن کاملFull counting statistics of incoherent Andreev transport
– We study the full counting statistics of heterostructures consisting of normalmetal parts connected to a superconducting terminal. Assuming that coherent superconducting correlations are suppressed in the normal metals, we show, using the Keldysh-Nambu Green’s function approach, that the system can be mapped onto a purely normal system with twice the number of elements. For a superconducting ...
