CORRELATED NONEQUILIBRIUM CHARGE TRANSPORT THROUGH IMPURITIES

We review recent advances in the full counting statistics (FCS) of transport of charge through an impurity in a 1D quantum wire. The model also applies to a coherent conductor in a resistive environment and to a resistively shunted Josephson device. Starting out from the path integral Coulomb gas representation both the weak and strong tunneling series representations for the cumulant generating function can be found in analytic form in particular regions of the parameter space. The zero temperature case is discussed in some detail.
