Popis: We have studied the Waiting Time Distributions (WTDs) for sub-gap transport through a single-level quantum dot tunnel coupled to one normal and one superconducting lead. The WTDs reveal the internal dynamics of the system in particular the coherent transfer of Cooper pairs between the dot and the superconductor. The WTDs exhibit oscillations that can be directly associated to the coherent oscillation between the empty and doubly occupied dot. The oscillation frequency is equal to the energy splitting between the Andreev bound states. These effects are more pronounced when the empty state and double occupied state are in resonance.
