Abstract
Driven nonequilibrium systems can host emergent functionalities beyond equilibrium, but real-time access to excited-state dynamics remains limited. Here we report real-time measurements of phonon-driven charge and spin dynamics in excited states of a double quantum dot. Under phonon irradiation, resonant inter-dot tunneling emerges at triplet resonance. Time-resolved charge sensing reveals that the resonant inter-dot tunneling is strongly modified by spin blockade. For weaker inter-dot coupling, the nonequilibrium phonon environment generates a unidirectional transport cycle along the phonon density gradient.
