  10. High-order cumulants - motivation 10

  11. Is this what is really measured? At least not always S(ω)! Lesovik, Loosen (1997)

  12. 1 Naïve calculations b a

  13. 1 Naïve calculations For G~0 does not reproduce Poisson result q3=g0V =eI !

  16. n=20 Gaussian vs. Poisson distributions In our measurements n~1000

  17. Khlus (1987), Lesovik (1989), Yurke and Kochansky (1989) L.S. Levitov and G.B. Lesovik (1993) L.S. Levitov and H. Lee (1996) Intrinsic cumulants for a single channel conductor (G=0.5)

  18. Experimental results from Yale B. Reulet, J. Senzier and D. E. Prober, 2002

  20. V0 V Z sample CV Cst Rl 1 How to measure? Opening and closing of the barrier I. Klich, 2001 What is actually measured?

  21. Zs>>Zl – voltage bias V0 V Z sample CV Cst Rl K. Nagaev – cascade corrections Kindermann, Nazarov, Beenakker (2002)

  22. Zs<<Zl – current bias V0 V Z sample CV Cst Rl

  23. General case for a tunneling junction<<1, T<<eV In general: Kindermann, Nazarov, Beenakker (2002)

  24. and in QPC Filling factor =4 T=4.2 K ~0.3 26

  25. Network analyzer Cc I QPC N Cv Cst Vg Rl A/D Low temperature Experimental Setup

  26. “Intrinsic” contribution t3 t t2 t1 A(t) J(t) “Intrinsic” (constant voltage) contribution

  27. A(t) Z(t) J(t) Corrections, “environmental” and nonlinear t2 t1 t

  28. Environmental correction is not small! If we ignore peculiarities of the circuit -mostly determined by the load thermal noise Not small even when R! 0

  29. QPC characterization T=1.5K

  30. QPC G~0.3

  31. Two different amplifiers

  32. Calculation of the statistics T-ordering is to put q(0) to the right of q(t) Using e.g. wave packet approach one can get the statistics (Levitov, Lesovik, 1993)

  33. How to express it through the integral of the currents (Bachman, Graf, Lesovik, 2009) Consider a slightly different object Properties: Q3=0 if one of ti=0. Therefore it can be expressed as: Time ordering is crucial to ensure Q3=0 for ti=0 !!! 37

  34. “Contact” terms Differentiation ovet t1 would generate 2 more -functions, provided [q,j] 0. So, there are additions to the term accounted for in naïve calculations: h j(t1) j(t2) j(t3)i 38

  35. My favorable choice of j b a L 1 Compare with: 39

  36. Conclusions and questions • Prediction for <<J3>> in QPC is verified • Effect of interactions on <<J3>>. • Charge statistics under FQHE? • Charge statistics in HTC superconductors • <<J3>> in diffusive systems with interactions • Frequency dependence of <<J3>>. 40
