We discuss the use of a hysteretic Josephson junction to detect current fluctuations with frequencies below the plasma frequency of the junction. These adiabatic fluctuations are probed by switching measurements observing the noise-affected…
We report the measurement of the fluctuations of the two quadratures of the electromagnetic field generated by a quantum conductor, a dc- and ac-biased tunnel junction placed at very low temperature.We observe that the variance of the…
Inspired by a recent experiment, we study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the $I$-$V$ characteristics of a Josephson junction, coupled to a strongly resistive environment. We obtain analytical results in the limit where the…
A time-dependent bias voltage on a tunnel junction generates a time-dependent modulation of its current fluctuations, and in particular of its variance. This translates into an excitation at frequency $\tilde{f}$ generating correlations…
We present measurements of the time-dependent fluctuations in electrical current in a voltage-biased tunnel junction. We were able to simultaneously extract the first three moments of the tunnel current counting statistics. Detailed…
We report measurements of the low frequency current fluctuations of a tunnel junction placed at very low temperature biased by a time-dependent voltage $V(t)=V(1+\cos 2\pi\nu t)$. We observe that the excess noise generated by the ac…
The paper investigates theoretically effects of noise on low-bias parts of $IV$ curves of tunnel junctions. The analysis starts from the effect of shot noise from an additional (noise) junction on the Coulomb blockaded Josephson junction in…
We compute the zero frequency current noise numerically and in several limits analytically for the coulomb blockade problem consisting of two tunnel junctions connected in series. At low temperatures over a wide range of voltages,…
We calculate the counting statistics of electron transfer through an open quantum dot with charging interaction. A dot that is connected to leads by two single-channel quantum point contacts in an in-plane magnetic field is described by a…
We analyze data on the critical current and normal state resistance noise in Josephson junctions and argue that the noise in the critical current is due to a mechanism that is absent in the normal state. We estimate the noise produced by…
We present the first measurements of the third moment of the voltage fluctuations in a conductor. This technique can provide new and complementary information on the electronic transport in conducting systems. The measurement was performed…
We present microscopic transport calculations of the tunneling spectra of non-magnetic metal nanoparticles. We show that charge fluctuations give rise to tunneling resonances of a new type. Positive and negative fluctuations have differing…
We study quantum-mechanically the frequency-dependent current noise of a tunnel-junction coupled to a nanomechanical oscillator. The cases of both DC and AC voltage bias are considered, as are the effects of intrinsic oscillator damping.…
We investigate background charge fluctuation in a GaAs quantum dot device by measuring 1/f noise in the single-electron tunneling current through the dot. The current noise is understood as fluctuations of the confinement potential and…
We consider the effect of disorder on coherent tunneling through two barriers in series, in the regime of overlapping transmission resonances. We present analytical calculations (using random-matrix theory) and numerical simulations (on a…
We derive fluctuation-dissipation relations for a tunnel junction driven by a high impedance microwave resonator, displaying strong quantum fluctuations. We find that the fluctuation-dissipation relations derived for classical forces hold,…
A nanomechanical resonator coupled to a tunnel junction is studied. The oscillator modulates the transmission of the junction, changing the current and the noise spectrum. The influence of the oscillator on the noise spectrum of the…
We theoretically investigate the finite-frequency as well as the zero-frequency charge-current fluctuations through a noncollinear single-electron spin-valve transistor in the limit of sequential tunneling. The system under consideration…
The statistics of quantum transport in nanostructures can be tailored by a time-dependent bias voltage $V(t)$. We demonstrate experimentally how correlations of current fluctuations at two different times $t$ and $t+\tau$ depend on the…
The influence of multiple vibrational modes on current fluctuations in electron transport through single-molecule junctions is investigated. Our analysis is based on a generic model of a molecular junction, which comprises a single…
