Factorization of quantum charge transport for non-interacting fermions
arXiv:0902.4151 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.79.205315
Abstract
We show that the statistics of the charge transfer of non-interacting fermions through a two-lead contact is generalized binomial, at any temperature and for any form of the scattering matrix: an arbitrary charge-transfer process can be decomposed into independent single-particle events. This result generalizes previous studies of adiabatic pumping at zero temperature and of transport induced by bias voltage.
