Interestingly, if the node is macroscopic, the current correlations are positive, whereas for a quantum coherent mesoscopic node anti-bunching of electrons leads to negative correlations. We present specific predictions which permit the experimental investigation of the crossover from quantum mechanical noise division to macroscopic noise noise division.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-05-02T09:44:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "current fluctuations", "macroscopic division", "macroscopic noise noise division", "current shot noise", "quantum mechanical noise division" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
