Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 260604 (2004) [4 pages]Transport Statistics of Bistable SystemsSee Also: Erratum Received 14 June 2004; published 28 December 2004 We consider the transport statistics of classical bistable systems driven by noise. The stochastic path integral formalism is used to investigate the dynamics and distribution of transmitted charge. Switching rates between the two stable states are found from an instanton calculation, leading to an effective two-state system on a long time scale. In the bistable current range, the telegraph noise dominates the distribution, whose logarithm is found to be universally described by a tilted ellipse. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
