Many-body entanglement is at the heart of the Kondo effect, which has its hallmark in quantum dots as a zero-bias conductance peak at low temperatures. It signals the emergence of a conducting singlet state formed by a localized dot degree…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling. We begin by describing several methods to detect the flexural motion of a CNT resonator. Next, we illustrate how single-electron…

We investigate the coupling between individual tubes in a rope of single-wall carbon nanotubes using four probe resistance measurements. By introducing defects through the controlled sputtering of the rope we generate a strong non-monotonic…

Few-electron states in carbon-nanotube quantum dots are studied by means of the configuration-interaction method. The peculiar non-interacting feature of the tunneling spectrum for two electrons, recently measured by Kuemmeth et al. [Nature…

Excited states in single quantum dots (QDs) have been shown to be useful for spin state initialization and manipulation. For scalable quantum information processing it is necessary to have multiple spins interacting. Therefore, we present…

We report on nonlinear cotunneling spectroscopy of a carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to Nb superconducting contacts. Our measurements show rich subgap features in the stability diagram which become more pronounced as the temperature is…

We demonstrate a hybrid architecture consisting of a quantum dot circuit coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field. We use single wall carbon nanotube based circuits inserted in superconducting microwave cavities. By probing the…

We investigate correlated electronic transport in single-walled carbon nanotubes with two intramolecular tunneling barriers. We suggest that below a characteristic temperature the long range nature of the Coulomb interaction becomes crucial…

The interactions of charged particles with carbon nanotubes may excite electromagnetic modes in the electron gas produced in the cylindrical graphene shell constituting the nanotube wall. This wake effect has recently been proposed as a…

Low-temperature transport measurements have been carried out on single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dots in a weakly coupled regime in magnetic fields up to 8 Tesla. Four-electron shell filling was observed, and the magnetic field evolution…

We calculate the plasma excitations in a bundle as well as a two-dimensional (2D) periodic array of aligned parallel multishell nanotubes on a substrate. The carbon nanotubes are oriented perpendicular to the substrate. The model we use for…

A magnetic field, through its vector potential, usually causes measurable changes in the electron wave function only in the direction transverse to the field. Here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that in carbon nanotube…

We report on a numerical study of quantum diffusion over micron lengths in defect-free multi-walled nanotubes. The intershell coupling allows the electron spreading over several shells, and when their periodicities along the nanotube axis…

The electronic spectra for double-wall zigzag and armchair nanotubes are found. The influence of nanotube curvatures on the electronic spectra is also calculated. Our finding that the outer shell is hole doped by the inner shell is in the…

We study the capacitance spectra of artificial molecules consisting of two and three coupled quantum dots from an extended Hubbard Hamiltonian model that takes into account quantum confinement, intra- and inter-dot Coulomb interaction and…

We study the influence of the phonon environment on the electron dynamics in a doped quantum dot molecule. A non-perturbative quantum kinetic theory based on correlation expansion is used in order to describe both diagonal and off-diagonal…

We present a tight binding theory to analyze the motion of electrons between carbon nanotubes bundled into a carbon nanotube rope. The theory is developed starting from a description of the propagating Bloch waves on ideal tubes, and the…

Structure of the spin-orbit coupling varies from material to material and thus finding the correct spin-orbit coupling structure is an important step towards advanced spintronic applications. We show theoretically that the curvature in a…

We present a quantum model to calculate the dipole-dipole coupling between electronic excitations in the conduction band of semiconductor quantum wells. We demonstrate that the coupling depends on a characteristic length, related to the…
