Title: Numerically exact full counting statistics of the energy current in the Kondo regime

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

In this study, we use the inchworm quantum Monte Carlo method to investigate the full counting statistics of particle and energy currents in a strongly correlated quantum dot. Our method is used to extract the heat fluctuations and entropy production of a quantum thermoelectric device, as well as cumulants of the particle and energy currents. The energy-particle current cross correlations reveal information on the preparation of the system and the interplay of thermal and electric currents. Finally, we demonstrate the signature of a crossover from Coulomb blockade to Kondo physics in the energy current fluctuations, and show how the conventional master equation approach to full counting statistics systematically fails to capture this crossover.
