Abstract
Shot-noise induced by current or voltage fluctuations in electron transport is a striking manifestation of charge quantization (for a review, see [1] and [2]). It serves as a sensitive tool to study correlations in conductors: while shot-noise assumes a maximum value (with Poissonian distribution) in the absence of correlations, it becomes suppressed when correlations set in as e.g. imposed by the Pauli principle [3]-[6].
