Noise in mesoscopic physics

Abstract

This is a course on noise which covers some of the scattering theory for normal metals, Hanbury Brown and Twiss analogs for noise correlations with electrons, noise correlations in superconducting/normal metal junctions. Entanglement in such NS systems is described with a criterion for violating Bell inegalities. The last section is devoted to the perturbative derivation of noise in a particular one dimensional correlated electron system (Luttinger liquid): edge states in the fractional quantum Hall effect, where the comparison of the quasiparticle tunneling current and noise allow to identidy the fractional charge of quasiparticles.
