Quantum noise with exchange and tunneling: Predictions for a two-particle scattering experiment with time-dependent oscillatory potentials

Abstract

Quantum noise with exchange and tunneling is studied within time-dependent wave packets. A novel expression for the quantum noise of two identical particles injected simultaneously from opposite sides of a tunneling barrier is presented. Such quantum noise expression provides a physical (non-spurious) explanation for the experimental detection of two electrons at the same side under static potentials. Numerical simulations of the two-particle scattering probabilities in a double barrier potential with an oscillatory well are performed. The dependence of the quantum noise on the electron energy and oscillatory frequency are analyzed. The peculiar behaviour of the dependence of the quantum noise on such parameters is proposed as a test about the soundness of this novel quantum noise expression, for either static or oscillatory potentials.
