Title: Superbunched radiation of a tunnel junction due to charge quantization

Abstract: A chaotic light source is characterized by the fact that many independent emitters radiate photons with a random optical phase. This is similar compared to a tunnel junction where many independent channels are able to emit photons due to a coupling to an electromagnetic environment. However, in a recent experiment it has been observed that a tunnel junction can deviate from the expectation of chaotic light and is able to emit strongly correlated, superbunched photons. Motivated by this, we study the correlation of the radiation and show that the superbunching originates from the emission of multiple photons which is possible due to the quantization of charge.
