Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 150601 (2008) [4 pages]Counting Statistics of Non-Markovian Quantum Stochastic ProcessesReceived 4 January 2008; revised 15 February 2008; published 17 April 2008 We derive a general expression for the cumulant generating function (CGF) of non-Markovian quantum stochastic transport processes. The long-time limit of the CGF is determined by a single dominating pole of the resolvent of the memory kernel from which we extract the zero-frequency cumulants of the current using a recursive scheme. The finite-frequency noise is expressed not only in terms of the resolvent, but also initial system-environment correlations. As an illustrative example we consider electron transport through a dissipative double quantum dot for which we study the effects of dissipation on the zero-frequency cumulants of high orders and the finite-frequency noise. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
