A very recent article [(1) E. Zakka-Bajjani et al., PRL104, 206802 (2010)] has addressed the problem of how the statistics of electrons crossing a quantum conductor influences that of the photons they emit. It is however not clear that the…

Quasiparticle tunneling events are a source of decoherence and correlated errors in superconducting circuits. Understanding and ultimately mitigating these errors calls for real-time detection of quasiparticle tunneling events on individual…

Current fluctuations in a tunnel junction have a remarkable property: On the one hand, their variance corresponds to vacuum fluctuations at low voltage bias $V$, when the electron energy $eV$ is smaller than the photon detection energy $hf$…
