The formalism is particularly well suited to obtaining the current noise for quantum transport in mesoscopic devices such as a superconducting single electron transistor (SSET). As an example of the method, we obtain explicit results for the double Josephson-quasiparticle (DJQP) resonance in a SSET. Our calculations reveal the asymmetries that develop in the current noise as well as clarifying the behavior at high frequencies. Our findings are consistent with recent measurements of the asymmetry in the current noise spectrum.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-08-28T13:26:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.70.+m", "42.50.Lc", "85.25.-j" ], "keywords": [ "born-markov master equation", "current noise spectrum", "superconducting single electron transistor", "non-symmetrized quantum current noise", "explicit results" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Aug", "volume": 86, "number": 8, "pages": "081305" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86h1305K" } } }
