Abstract

We study a voltage-driven quantum point contact (QPC) strongly coupled to a qubit. We predict pronounced observable features in the QPC current that can be interpreted in terms of half-integer charge transfers. Our analysis is based on the Keldysh generating functional approach and contains general results, valid for all coherent conductors.
