Abstract
Measuring shot noise and electron counting are both methods for accessing information about the dynamics of electronic transport through a system of interest. Here we apply these tools to examine electronic transport through coupled quantum dot systems. In the first part of the paper we show temperature dependent shot noise measurements for a strongly coupled double-quantum-dot system. We observe super-Poissonian shot noise as expected for coherent inter-dot coupling and asymmetric lead tunnelling rates. In the second part we apply direct electron counting to examine a weakly coupled triple-dot system. A quantum point contact placed near the triple dot allows us to monitor electron hops between the dots and the leads. This allows us to, e.g., individually characterize different tunnelling rates relevant in the system.
