چکیده

We investigate nonequilibrium noise in a diffusive Andreev interferometer, in which currents emerging from two normal metal/superconductor (N-S) interfaces can interfere. We observe a modulation of the shot noise when the phase difference between the two N-S interfaces is varied by a magnetic flux. This is the signature of phase-sensitive fluctuations in the normal metal. The effective charge inferred from the shot noise measurement is close to q(eff) = 2e but shows phase-dependent deviations from 2e at finite energy, which we interpret as being due to pair correlations. Experimental data are in good agreement with predictions based on an extended Keldysh Green's function approach.

Shot noise in gravitational-wave detectors with Fabry-Perot arms.

Shot-noise-limited sensitivity is calculated for gravitational-wave interferometers with Fabry-Perot arms, similar to those being installed at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Italian-French Laser Interferometer Collaboration (VIRGO) facility. This calculation includes the effect of nonstationary shot noise that is due to phase modulation of the light. The ...

Effects of dephasing on shot-noise in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer

We present a theoretical study of the influence of dephasing on shot noise in an electronic MachZehnder interferometer. In contrast to phenomenological approaches, we employ a microscopic model where dephasing is induced by the fluctuations of a classical potential. This enables us to treat the influence of the environment’s fluctuation spectrum on the shot noise. We compare against the results...

Quantum metrology with parametric amplifier-based photon correlation interferometers

Conventional interferometers usually utilize beam splitters for wave splitting and recombination. These interferometers are widely used for precision measurement. Their sensitivity for phase measurement is limited by the shot noise, which can be suppressed with squeezed states of light. Here we study a new type of interferometer in which the beam splitting and recombination elements are paramet...

Phase Dependent Current Statistics in Short-arm Andreev Interferometer

We calculate analytically the current statistics for a short diffusive wire between the normal reservoir and a short superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) junction, at arbitrary applied voltages and temperatures. The cumulantgenerating function oscillates with the phase difference φ across the junction, approaching the normal-state value at φ = π. At T = 0 and at the applied voltage ...
