We derive the full counting statistics for the coupled DQD - QPC system and obtain the joint probability distribution of the charges transferred through the DQD and the QPC consistent with the fluctuation theorem (FT). The system can be described by a master equation with tunneling rates depending of the counting fields and satisfying a generalized local detailed-balance relation. Furthermore, we derive universal relations between the non-linear corrections to the current and noise, which can be verified in experiment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-08-15T12:36:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.23.Hk", "72.70.+m", "05.70.Ln" ], "keywords": [ "double quantum dot", "fluctuation theorem", "point-contact electrometer", "study single-electron transport", "joint probability distribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2011, "month": "Aug", "volume": 84, "number": 7, "pages": "075323" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..84g5323G" } } }
