Time-resolved noise of adiabatic quantum pumps

Abstract

We investigate quantum-statistical correlation properties of a periodically driven mesoscopic scatterer on a time-scale shorter than the period of a drive. In this limit the intrinsic quantum fluctuations in the system of fermions are the main source of a noise. Nevertheless the effect of a slow periodic drive is clearly visible in a two-time current-current correlation function as a specific periodic in time modulation. In the limit of a strong drive such a modulation can change the sign of a current correlation function.
