Zero-frequency noise in adiabatically driven, interacting quantum
systems
   [PDF]

Roman-Pascal Riwar, Janine Splettstoesser, Jürgen König
We investigate current-current correlations of adiabatic charge pumping through interacting quantum dots weakly coupled to reservoirs. To calculate the zero-frequency noise for a time-dependently driven system, possibly in the presence of an additional stationary bias, we perform within a real-time diagrammatic approach a perturbative expansion in the tunnel coupling to the reservoirs. We apply this formalism to study the adiabatic correction to the zero-frequency noise, i.e., the pumping noise, in the case of a single-level quantum dot charge pump. If no stationary bias is applied, the adiabatic correction shows Coulomb-interaction-induced deviations from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Furthermore, we show that the adiabatic correction to the Fano factor carries information about the coupling asymmetry and depends of the choice of the pumping parameters. When including a time-dependent finite bias, we find that there can be pumping noise even if there is zero adiabatically pumped charge.
