文摘The full counting statistics of electron transport through two parallel quantum dots with antiparallel magnetic fluxes is investigated as a probe to detect the topological quantum-phase coherence （TQPC）, which results in the characteristic oscillation of the zero-frequency cumulants including the shot noise and skewness.
