Recording every single quantum event in a real-time measurement gives the maximum information of a dynamical quantum system. The obtained time traces can be used in a statistical evaluation to get a deep understanding about the underlying physical mechanisms. We use a self-assembled quantum dot coupled to a reservoir in combination with resonant optical excitation to study phenomena such as electron tunneling [1] and Auger recombination [2] with a time resolution down to single quantum events. The resulting telegraph signal is evaluated by full counting statistics to obtain deep insights into the spin and charge dynamics, where we use factorial cumulants as a very sensitive statistical tool to reduce the influence of statistical and systematic errors [3]. We show that factorial cumulants together with optical excitation push the limits in the detection and analysis of random telegraph data.
