AC driven strongly correlated quantum circuits and Hall edge states: Unified photo-assisted noise and revisited minimal excitations
arXiv:2203.10657 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.106.205130
Abstract
We study the photo-assisted noise generated by time-dependent or random sources and transmission amplitudes. We show that it obeys a perturbative non-equilibrium fluctuation relation that fully extends the lateral-band transmission picture in terms of many-body correlated states. This relation holds in non-equilibrium strongly correlated systems such as the integer or fractional quantum Hall regime as well as in quantum circuits formed by a normal or Josephson junctions strongly coupled to an electromagnetic environment, with a possible temperature bias. We then show that the photo-assisted noise is universally super-poissonian, giving an alternative to a theorem by L. Levitov {\it et al} which states that an ac voltage increases the noise. Restricted to a linear dc current, we show that the latter does not apply to a non-linear superconducting junction. Then we characterize minimal excitations in non-linear conductors by ensuring a poissonian photo-assisted noise, and show that these can carry a non-trivial charge value in the fractional quantum Hall regime. We also propose methods for shot noise spectroscopy and for a robust determination of the fractional charge which is more advantageous than those we have proposed previously and implemented experimentally.
