β¦ Synopsis
This article is dedicated to Hermann Grabert on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
We investigate the noise properties of pump currents through molecular wires and coupled quantum dots. As a model we employ a two-level system that is connected to electron reservoirs and is non-adiabatically driven. Concerning the electron-electron interaction, we focus on two limits: non-interacting electrons and strong Coulomb repulsion. While the former case is treated within a Floquet scattering formalism, we derive for the latter case a master equation formalism for the computation of the current and the zero-frequency noise. For a pump operated close to internal resonances, the differences between the non-interacting and the strongly interacting limit turn out to be surprisingly small.

The aim of the present paper is to give a short review of recently observed effect of suppression of noise in non-linear systems subjected to strong periodic driving and discusses its importance for application in electronic devices. The effect shows up as a weak dependence of a mean escape time on
