The generating function for the time-dependent charge transfer statistics is evaluated numerically by discretizing the Keldysh time contour, which allows us to compute the higher order charge and current cumulants. We also develop an analytic expression for all order cumulants at any time given as a function of the zeros of the generating function, finding that the short time universality is due to the presence of a dominant single zero. The robustness of the universal features at short times is studied in both the sequential and coherent regimes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-20T17:33:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coherent electronic transport", "transient dynamics", "coherent regime", "time-dependent charge transfer statistics", "higher order charge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
