Josephson junctions as threshold detectors for full counting statistics

arXiv:cond-mat/0308310 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.106801

Abstract

We discuss how threshold detectors can be used for a direct measurement of the full counting statistics (FCS) of current fluctuations and how to implement Jose phson junctions in this respect. We propose a scheme to characterize the full co unting statistics from the current dependence of the escape rate measured. We il lustrate the scheme with explicit results for tunnel, diffusive and quasi-ballis tic mesoscopic conductors.
