Abstract
The statistics of single molecule blinking events often reveal underlying quantum mechanisms. The golden rule rate expression for quantum transitions is shown to be the inverse of the mean waiting time. The distribution function for the waiting time is related to the density of states such that simple power-law distribution functions can be predicted based on the functional form for the density of states. Explicit formulas are derived for waiting time distribution functions in three kinetic processes: Quantum tunneling, intersystem conversion, and nonstationary electron transfer.
