Abstract

We present a semiclassical theory of current correlations in multiterminal chaotic dot-superconductor junctions, valid in the absence of the proximity effect in the dot. For a dominating coupling of the dot to the normal terminals and a nonperfect dot-superconductor interface, positive cross correlations are found between currents in the normal terminals. This demonstrates that positive cross correlations can be described within a semiclassical approach. We show that the semiclassical approach is equivalent to a quantum-mechanical Green’s-function approach with suppressed proximity effect in the dot.
