Quantum interference is a natural consequence of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics, and is widely observed at the atomic scale. One interesting manifestation of quantum interference is coherent population trapping (CPT), first…
We calculate the electronic contribution to the thermal conductance in a quantum dot that is weakly coupled via tunnel barriers to two electrons reservoirs. A linear response model is derived for the calculation of the heat current Q…
We obtain the conductance of a system of electrons connected to leads, within time-dependent density-functional theory, using a direct relation between the conductance and the density response function. Corrections to the non-interacting…
Minimizing decoherence due to coupling of a quantum system to its fluctuating environment is at the forefront of quantum information science and photonics research. Nature sets the ultimate limit, however, given by the strength of the…
Strong electron and spin correlations are studied in parallel-coupled double quantum dots with interdot spin superexchange $J$. In the Kondo regime with {\it}{degenerate} dot energy levels, a coherent transport occurs at zero temperature,…
We analyze heat and charge transport through a single-level quantum dot coupled to two BCS superconductors at different temperatures to first order in the tunnel coupling. In order to describe the system theoretically, we extend a real-time…
We study theoretically the linear conductance of a quantum dot connected to ferromagnetic leads. The dot level is split due to a non-collinear magnetic field or intrinsic magnetization. The system is studied in the non-interacting…
We study the conductance through a triangular triple quantum dot, which are connected to two noninteracting leads, using the numerical renormalization group (NRG). It is found that the system shows a variety of Kondo effects depending on…
Using exact-diagonalization of small clusters and Dyson equation embedding techniques, the conductance $G$ of linear arrays of quantum dots is investigated. The Hubbard interaction induces Kondo peaks at low temperatures for an odd number…
We consider the effect of electron-electron interactions on a voltage biased quantum point contact in the tunneling regime used as a detector of a nearby qubit. We model the leads of the quantum point contact as Luttinger liquids,…
We investigate the effects of the electron-electron interactions on the quantum transport through a charge Kondo circuit. The setup consists of a quantum dot sandwiched between two leads by two nearly transparent single mode quantum point…
We analyze ground-state properties of a large gated quantum dot coupled via a quantum point contact to a reservoir of one-dimensional interacting spinless electrons. We find that the classical step-like dependence of the dot population on…
We have incorporated an aluminum single electron transistor directly into the defining gate structure of a semiconductor quantum dot, permitting precise measurement of the charge in the dot. Voltage biasing a gate draws charge from a…
We derive a general expression for the conductivity of a disordered conductor with electron-electron interactions (treated within the standard model) and evaluate the weak localization correction delta sigma_{wl} employing no approximations…
In the present work we theoretically study thermoelectric transport and heat transfer in a junction including a $T$-shaped double quantum dot coupled to nonmagnetic electrodes and supplemented with a third dot in a parallel configuration.…
The transport properties of nanostructured systems are deeply affected by the geometry of the effective connections to metallic leads. In this work we derive a conductance expression for interacting systems whose connectivity geometries do…
Linear conductance across a large quantum dot via a single level e_0 with large hybridization to the contacts is strongly sensitive to quasi-bound states localized in the dot and weakly coupled to e_0. It oscillates with the gate voltage…
The interplay between distinct carrier species in systems with broken Galilean invariance gives rise to a rich landscape of interaction-driven transport phenomena. Here, we develop a comprehensive theory for the electrical conductivity of a…
We discuss the effect of quantum interference on transport through a quantum dot system. We introduce an indirect coherent coupling parameter alpha, which provides constructive/destructive interference in the transport current depending on…
We study the interaction-induced quantum correction \delta\sigma_{\alpha\beta} to the conductivity tensor of electrons in two dimensions for arbitrary T\tau (where T is the temperature and \tau the transport scattering time), magnetic…
