Incoherence induced sign change in noise cross-correlations: A case study in the full counting statistics of a pure spin pump

The full counting statistics of a non adiabatic pure spin pump are calculated with particular emphasis on the second and third moments. We show that incoherence can change the sign of spin shot noise cross-correlations from negative to positive, implying entanglement for spin-singlet electronic sources, a truly counterintuitive result. The third moment on the other hand is shown to be much more resilient to incoherence.
