In 2023, Douglas Natelson’s lab showed that this phenomenon is heavily suppressed in a nanowire made of the strange metal ytterbium dirhodium disilicide (“it-TER-bium di-rhodium di-silicide”), which thus disobeyed Fermi liquid theory. A limit resulting from this phenomenon is achieved when a local oscillator signal is sent into a beam combiner in balanced heterodyne detection. Dark current and this intrinsic phenomenon are contrasted with an equipment-dependent “read” phenomenon in digital photography. This phenomenon’s power spectral density is twice the fundamental charge times the current, per Schottky’s theorem. This phenomenon is described by a Poisson (“pwah-sahn”) distribution, both in the context of the number of photons reaching a pixel, and for single electrons carrying charge. For 10 points, name this type of noise that arises due to particles being quantized. ■END■
ANSWER: shot noise [accept shot noise after “noise” is read; accept Poisson noise until “Poisson” is read and prompt afterward; accept Schottky noise until “Schottky’s” is read and prompt afterwards; prompt on noise until read]
