The QPC currents are analyzed with cross-correlation techniques, which enables us to measure dot charging and discharging rates for significantly smaller signal-to-noise ratios than required for charge detection with a single QPC. This allows to reduce the current level in the detector and therefore the invasiveness of the detection process and may help to increase the available measurement bandwidth in noise-limited setups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-02-27T15:40:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.23.Hk", "73.40.Gk" ], "keywords": [ "time-resolved charge detection", "cross-correlation techniques", "proximal quantum point contact", "gaas double quantum dot", "significantly smaller signal-to-noise ratios" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2009, "month": "Jan", "volume": 79, "number": 3, "pages": "035314" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvB..79c5314K" } } }
