Quantum Andreev map: A paradigm of quantum chaos in superconductivity
Ph. Jacquod, H. Schomerus, C. W. J. Beenakker
We introduce quantum maps with particle-hole conversion (Andreev reflection) and particle-hole symmetry, which exhibit the same excitation gap as quantum dots in the proximity to a…
Scattering theory of plasmon-assisted entanglement transfer and distillation
J. L. van Velsen, J. Tworzydlo, C. W. J. Beenakker
We analyse the quantum mechanical limits to the plasmon-assisted entanglement transfer observed by E. Altewischer, M.P. van Exter, and J.P. Woerdman [Nature, 418, 304 (2002)]. The…
Distribution of voltage fluctuations in a current-biased conductor
M. Kindermann, Yu. V. Nazarov, C. W. J. Beenakker
We calculate the fluctuating voltage V(t) over a conductor driven out of equilibrium by a current source. This is the dual of the shot noise problem of current fluctuations I(t) in…
Quantum theory of electromechanical noise and momentum transfer statistics
M. Kindermann, C. W. J. Beenakker
A quantum mechanical theory is developed for the statistics of momentum transferred to the lattice by conduction electrons. Results for the electromechanical noise power in the sem…
Momentum noise in a quantum point contact
A. Tajic, M. Kindermann, C. W. J. Beenakker
Ballistic electrons flowing through a constriction can transfer momentum to the lattice and excite a vibration of a free-standing conductor. We show (both numerically and analytica…
Anomalous power law of quantum reversibility for classically regular dynamics
Ph. Jacquod, I. Adagideli, C. W. J. Beenakker
The Loschmidt Echo M(t) (defined as the squared overlap of wave packets evolving with two slightly different Hamiltonians) is a measure of quantum reversibility. We investigate its…
