The Keldysh action of a multi-terminal time-dependent scatterer
arXiv:0801.2293 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.77.165118
Abstract
We present a derivation of the Keldysh action of a general multi-channel time-dependent scatterer in the context of the Landauer-Büttiker approach. The action is a convenient building block in the theory of quantum transport. This action is shown to take a compact form that only involves the scattering matrix and reservoir Green functions. We derive two special cases of the general result, one valid when reservoirs are characterized by well-defined filling factors, the other when the scatterer connects two reservoirs. We illustrate its use by considering Full Counting Statistics and the Fermi Edge Singularity.
