The recent, unexpected, findings of upstream neutral modes in particle-like fractional quantum Hall states, led to a realization that the nature of the neutral modes is far from being understood. Moreover, the observation of spatially…

We investigate the current shot noise at a three terminal node in which one of the branches contains a noise generating source and the correlations are measured between the currents flowing through the other two branches. Interestingly, if…

We consider the fluctuations of the electrical current (shot noise) in the presence of a voltage time-modulation. For a non-interacting metal, it is known that the derivative of the photo-assisted noise has a staircase behavior. In the…

Shot noise is not normally evident in bulk solid-state conductors, since it is strongly attenuated by inelastic collisions. The ``anomalous'' emergence of macroscopic shot noise is discussed in G. Gomila and L. Reggiani, Phys. Rev. B 62,…
