Abstract
We discuss the electronic waiting-time distribution of a quantum-dot spin valve, i.e., a single-level quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic electrodes with magnetizations that can point in arbitrary directions. We demonstrate that the rich transport physics of this setup, such as dynamical channel blockade and spin precession in an interaction-driven exchange field, shows up in the waiting-time distribution, and we analyze the conditions necessary to observe the various effects.
