Low Noise On-demand Single Electron Source Jin Zhang, Y. Sherkunov, N. d'Ambrumenil, B. Muzykantskii Department of Physics, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, U.K. (See poster by Y. Sherkunov also) A 0 t ABSTRACT We obtain the full counting statistics (FCS) of a quantum point contact (QPC) for the case when the contact transparency is modulated in time, which is shown to be equivalent to a system with a time-dependent bias voltage applied between the leads. We demonstrate an improved contact opening schemes with the logarithmically divergent equilibrium noise suppressed, which can be used as an on-demand single electron source. The effect of a possible deviation of the opening is also presented.
