First-detection-time statistics in many-body quantum transport

Quantum Physics 2023-05-10 v2

Abstract

We study the transport of many partially distinguishable and possibly interacting particles under the action of repeated projective measurements on a target space and investigate how the particles' interference affects the mean first detection time. We contrast the detection of exactly nn versus at least nn particles, explain divergences in the mean first detection time through spectral properties of the generating evolution operator, and illustrate our findings by an example.
