Abstract:
We investigate the photo-assisted charge-heat mixed noise and the heat noise generated by periodic drives in Quantum Hall states belonging to the Laughlin sequence. Fluctuations of the charge and heat currents are due to weak backscattering induced in a quantum point contact geometry and are evaluated at the lowest order in the tunneling amplitude. Focusing on the cases of a cosine and Lorentzian periodic drive, we show that the different symmetries of the photo-assisted tunneling amplitudes strongly affect the overall profile of these quantities as a function of the AC and DC voltage contributions, which can be tuned independently in experiments.
