Abstract

The distinction between chiral, trivial helical, and topological helical edge modes can be effectively made using quantum noise measurements at finite temperatures. Quantum noise measurements consist of mainly two components. The first is thermal noise, whose provenance is thermal fluctuations, and the second is shot noise, whose origin is the quantum nature of charge particles. Studying these edge modes at finite temperatures is important as it more accurately reflects the conditions in real-world experiments. Additionally, we have verified that our results for finite temperature quantum noise correlations are valid at finite frequencies too.
