In the low frequency limit we evaluate all cumulants of the voltage operator which obey Poisson statistics and show a power law dependence on the external bias. We specifically address quantum shot noise which power spectrum $S_\\Omega$ may depend non-monotonously on temperature. In the long wire limit $S_\\Omega$ decreases with increasing frequency $\\Omega$ and vanishes beyond a threshold value of $\\Omega$ at $T \\to 0$. Our predictions can be directly tested in future experiments with superconducting nanowires.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-09T01:25:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum phase slips", "superconducting nanowires", "specifically address quantum shot noise", "generate non-equilibrium voltage fluctuations", "obey poisson statistics" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
