Fermi-edge singularity in chiral one-dimensional systems far from equilibrium

Abstract

We study the effects of strong coupling of a localized state charge to one-dimensional electronic channels out of equilibrium. While the state of this charge and the coupling strengths determine the scattering phase shifts in the channels, the nonequilibrium partitioning noise induces the tunneling transitions to the localized state. The strong coupling leads to a nonperturbative backaction effect which is manifested in the orthogonality catastrophe and the Fermi-edge singularity in the transition rates. We predict an unusually pronounced manifestation of the non-Gaussian component of noise that breaks the charge symmetry, resulting in a nontrivial shape, and a shift of the position of the tunneling resonance.
