Full counting statistics for superconducting quantum point contacts

More about the book

Focusing on the calculation of full counting statistics (FCS) in superconducting quantum point contacts, this thesis explores their significance in modern microelectronics. Employing a generalized Keldysh formalism, it analyzes FCS for both normal metal-superconductor and superconductor-superconductor contacts, comparing findings with experimental and theoretical data. Key insights include the explanation of doubled shot noise from Andreev reflections and the behavior of Josephson current over extended measurement periods, enhancing the understanding of transport in systems with superconducting leads.
