Full Counting Statistics from quantum trajectories — •Ansgar Pernice1 and Walter Strunz2 — 1Physikalisches Institut der Universität Freiburg, Herrmann-Herder-Str. 3,79104 Freiburg, Germany — 2Physikalisches Institut der Universität Freiburg, Herrmann-Herder-Str. 3,79104 Freiburg, Germany
Motivated by a recent experiment [1], we apply a quantum trajectory approach to the determination of the full counting statistics (FCS)of single-electron transport in a quantum dot.
The FCS reveals information about the initial state of the dot [2]. In the case of the steady state, our results coincide with the formulae given by Bagrets and Nazarov [3]. However, the FCS differs in the case of an initially full/empty dot and for short times.
Last but not least, we establish the connection between our approach and those based on counting fields in providing a new deriviation of the quantum-jump-representation, here for a fermionic environment.
