Abstract

The study of higher-order correlation functions of electrons and composite particles in mesoscopic systems has opened the field of quantum electron optics [1]. Since the 1950’s, probing higher-order correlation functions in photon and atomcavity systems has led to a more complete understanding of the fundamental quantum statistical [2, 3] and quantum mechanical phenomena resulting from entanglement [4–6], including violations of Bell’s inequality [7–9], quantum nondemolition measurements [10, 11], and teleportation [12–14]. Many current-current correlation experiments have demonstrated that the quantum optical effects manifest in second-order correlation functions can also be observed clearly in mesoscopic electron systems [15–24]. As with photon quantum optics [25–27], this has led naturally to the investigation of higher-order correlation functions beyond the second order, the search for generating functions, and full counting statistics for particles in mesoscopic systems [28–34].
