Correlations in interfering electrons irradiated by nonclassical microwaves
Chee Ching Chong, Dimitris I. Tsomokos, Apostol Vourdas
Electron interference in mesoscopic devices irradiated by external nonclassical microwaves is considered. In the case of one-mode microwaves, it is shown that both the average intensity and the spectral density of the interfering electrons are sensitive to the quantum noise of the microwaves. The results for various quantum states of the microwaves are compared and contrasted with the classical case. Separable and entangled two-mode microwaves are also considered and their effect on electron average intensity and autocorrelation, is discussed.
