A striking consequence of these non trivial ensembles is the emergence of quantum zero point fluctuations of the persistent current around the loop. Detailed predictions for the low frequency noise power are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-08-24T13:16:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mesoscopic rings", "reservoirs", "low frequency noise power", "quantum zero point fluctuations", "ballistic aharonov-bohm loop" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..8469P" } } }
