Full Counting Statistics of an Aharonov-Bohm Interferometer with an embedded Quantum Dot — •Daniel Urban1,2, Rosario Fazio2,3, and Jürgen König1 — 1Ruhr-Universität Bochum — 2Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa — 3International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste
The visibility of the interference signal in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometers provides information about the coherence of transport channels. For instance, spin-flip processes in embedded quantum dots lead to partial destruction of the coherence [1] and thus reduction of the AB-oscillation amplitude. The occurrence of this effect depends on the dot occupation.
We perform a perturbation expansion of the Cumulant Generating Function [2] of an AB-Interferometer with quantum dots in the regime of weak tunnel coupling. Different statistics are found for vanishing and infinite charging energy: Without interaction the interfering part of the statistics is Poisson-like and all moments are even in the AB-flux. For an interacting quantum dot we find completely different behavior with super-poissonian noise and an odd flux dependence.
