Abstract:
We present a numerically exact study of charge transport and its fluctuations through a molecular junction driven out of equilibrium by a bias voltage, using the inchworm quantum Monte Carlo method. After showing how the technique can be used to address any lead geometry, we concentrate on one dimensional chains as an example. The finite bandwidth of the leads is shown to affect transport properties in ways that cannot be fully captured by quantum master equations: in particular, we reveal an interaction-induced broadening of transport channels that is visible at all voltages and show how fluctuations of the current are a more sensitive probe of this effect than the mean current.

Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

In statistics, the collection of individuals or objects under study is called population. The idea of sampling is to select a portion of the larger population...
