Current correlation coefficient To make the effect of driving more sharp we consider and introduce stationary case (r is independent of S): driving case:
Example: a resonant transmission pump Large driving, close to the quantized pumping regime: I1 I2 =/2 Idc 0
No dc currents ... Large driving, close to the quantized pumping regime: I1 I2 = =0 Idc= 0
Summary • Two-time current correlation function of an adiabatic quantum pump is calculated • Oscillatory pump changes the sign of a current correlation function • Current auto-correlation is an indicator of current pulses (arising at the same or at another lead)
