Cross-correlated noise measurements in equilibrium at a bath temperature of Tbath=4.2 K are performed in etched AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs-based quantum rings [1], which are of interest to the study of mode control and heat flow at the nanoscale and in quantum systems [2].
The measured white noise exceeds the thermal noise expected from the measured electron temperature Te and the electrical resistance R.
This excess noise is neither observed if one arm of a quantum ring is depleted of electrons nor in 1D-constrictions that have a length and width comparable to the quantum rings.
Also, it decreases as Tbath increases and vanishes for Tbath > 12 K.
A model is presented that suggests that the excess noise originates from the correlation of noise sources, mediated by phase-coherent propagation of electrons.
The noise measurements at Tbath=4.2 K allow the estimation of a correlation coefficient from the excess noise.
