When Pauli Silences Electrons: Quantum Noise in Quantum Conductors

Abstract

The Pauli principle gives strange and remarkable properties of electrical noise in quantum conductor. During the last decade it has been shown that electrons emitted by contacts and incoming on a quantum coherent conductor are temporally ordered with a characteristic frequency eV/h, V being the voltage applied across the conductor. In certain situations this gives rise to noiseless current flow where we would expect the granularity of electron to generate electrical shot noise. We review some fascinating consequences of the Pauli principle, including noiseless conductors, manifestation of the characteristic frequency eV/h, possible quantum entanglement with thermodynamic electron sources, and generation of non-classical microwave photons.
