Abstract
Optimal single electron sources emit regular streams of particles, displaying no low frequency charge current noise. Due to the wavepacket nature of the emitted particles, the energy is however fluctuating, giving rise to heat current noise. We investigate theoretically this quantum source of heat noise for an emitter coupled to an electronic probe in the hot-electron regime. The distribution of temperature and potential fluctuations induced in the probe is shown to provide direct information on the single particle wavefunction properties and display strong non-classical features.
