Violation of detailed balance for charge-transfer statistics in Coulomb-blockade systems — •Philipp Stegmann and Jürgen König — Theoretische Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen and CENIDE, 47048 Duisburg, Germany

We discuss the possibility to generate in Coulomb-blockade systems steady states that violate detailed balance. This includes both voltage biased and non-biased scenarios. The violation of detailed balance yields that the charge-transfer statistics for electrons tunneling into an island experiencing strong Coulomb interaction is different from the statistics for tunneling out. This can be experimentally tested by time-resolved measurement of the island’s charge state. We demonstrate this claim for two model systems.
