Abstract

The spectrum of 1-state and 2-states per line quantum buses is used to determine the effective Vab(N)V_{ab}(N) electronic coupling between emitter and receiver states through the bus as a function of the number NN of parallel lines in the bus. When the calculation of Vab(N)V_{ab}(N) is spectrally difficult, an Heisenberg-Rabi time dependent quantum exchange process can be triggered through the bus by preparing a specific initial non-stationanry state and identifying a target state to capture the effective oscillation frequency Ωab(N)\Omega_{ab}(N) between those. For Ωab(N)\Omega_{ab}(N) (for Vab(N)V_{ab}(N)), two different regimes are observed as a function of NN: linear and N\sqrt{N} more moderate increases. This state preparation was remplaced by electronically coupling the quantum bus to two semi-infinite electrodes. The native quantum transduction process at work in this tunnel junction is not faithfully following the Ωab(N)\Omega_{ab}(N) variations with NN. Due to normalisation to unity of the electronic transparency of the quantum bus and to the low pass filter character of the transduction, large Ωab(N)\Omega_{ab}(N) cannot be followed by the tunnel junction. At low coupling and when NN is small enough not to compensate the small through line coupling, an N2N^2 power law is preserved for Ωab(N)\Omega_{ab}(N). The limitations of the quantum transduction in a tunnel junction is pointing how the broadly used concept of electrical contact between a metallic nanopad and a molecular wire can be better described as a quantum transduction process.
