40. To extract the equilibrium spectral function from a measurement is nontrivial as well. There have been different proposals to achieve this. One can either use very asymmetric couplings to the leads, use a three terminal geometry [see E. Lebanon and A. Schiller, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.035308 65, 035308 (2002)]
41. or extract Aeq from the frequency-dependent conductance or noise [see M. Sindel, W. Hofstetter, J. von Delft, and M. Kindermann, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.94.196602 94, 196602 (2005)].
