Measurements of higher order noise correlations in a quantum dot with a finite bandwidth detector

Abstract

We present measurements of the fourth and fifth cumulants of the distribution of transmitted charge in a tunable quantum dot. We investigate how the measured statistics is influenced by the finite bandwidth of the detector and by the finite measurement time. By including the detector when modeling the system, we use the theory of full counting statistics to calculate the noise levels for the combined system. The predictions of the finite-bandwidth model are in good agreement with measured data
