Effects of Exchange Symmetry on Full Counting Statistics

We study the full counting statistics for the transmission of two identical particles with positive or negative symmetry under exchange for the situation where the scattering depends on energy. We find that, besides the expected sensitivity of the noise and higher cumulants, the exchange symmetry has a huge effect on the average transmitted charge; for equal-spin exchange-correlated electrons, the average transmitted charge can be orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding value for independent electrons. A similar, although smaller, effect is found in a four-lead geometry even for energy-independent scattering.

Using Qubits to Measure Fidelity in Mesoscopic Systems

We point out the similarities in the definition of the `fidelity' of a quantum system and the generating function determining the full counting statistics of charge transport through a quantum wire and suggest to use flux- or charge qubits for their measurement. As an application we use the notion of fidelity within a first-quantized formalism in order to derive new results and insights on the generating function of the full counting statistics.
