We develop a quantum theory of the nonlinear interaction between intense surface acoustic waves and electrons of a quantum well in the regime of moving quantum wires and dots. The quantum nonlinear interaction qualitatively differs from the…
This document provides detailed descriptions of data acquisition and data analysis in support of the accompanying Article, cond-mat/0610721: Observation of the two-channel Kondo effect. Some of the most intriguing problems in solid state…
A time-dependent inelastic electron transport theory for strong electron-phonon interaction is established via the equations of motion method combined with the small polaron transformation. In this work, the dissipation via electron-phonon…
We report on theoretical investigations of frequency dependent quantum capacitance. It is found that at finite frequency a quantum capacitor can be characterized by a classical RLC circuit with three parameters: a static electrochemical…
In a two-dimensional quantum wire in a perpendicular magnetic field with a smooth embedded repulsive scattering potential we find in the multimode conductance resonances caused by bound states with negative binding energy. These resonances…
Quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in empty space seem not to produce observable effects over the motion of a charged test particle. However, when a change in the background vacuum state is implemented, as for instance…
We address the dynamics of nonclassicality for a quantum system interacting with a noisy fluctuating environment described by a classical stochastic field. As a paradigmatic example, we consider a harmonic oscillator initially prepared in a…
Motivated by the search for a quantum analogue of the macroscopic fluctuation theory, we study quantum spin chains dissipatively coupled to quantum noise. The dynamical processes are encoded in quantum stochastic differential equations.…
We present transport measurements of the Kondo effect in a double quantum dot charged with only one or two electrons, respectively. For the one electron case we observe a surprising quasi-periodic oscillation of the Kondo conductance as a…
A quantum point contact (QPC) is a very basic nano-electronic device: a short and narrow transport channel between two electron reservoirs. In clean channels electron transport is ballistic and the conductance $G$ is then quantised as a…
A two-dimensional model of an electron moving under the influence of an attractive zero-range potential as well as external magnetic and electric fields is analyzed. We prove by numerical investigations that there are formed such resonances…
We wish to draw an attention to a non-gibbsian behavior of zero-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, which appears to be manifested in experiments by an effect of incomplete depopulation from electronic excited states or by an effect…
Acoustic spontaneous emission into bulk dielectrics can be a strong source of decoherence in quantum devices, especially when a qubit is in the presence of piezoelectric materials. We study the dynamics of a qubit coupled to an acoustic…
We study theoretically the piezoelectric interaction of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) with a two-dimensional electron gas confined to an isolated quantum dot. The electron motion in the dot is diffusive. The electron-electron interaction is…
We consider a Stark Hamiltonian on a two-dimensional bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the strong electric field limit we derive, under certain local convexity conditions, a three-term asymptotic expansion of the…
We investigate quantum and quantum-relativistic effects associated with the noise power spectrum and the fluctuation--dissipation relation between current--noise spectra and linear--response conductance at low frequencies of the…
The quantum nonlinear dimer consisting of an electron shuttling between the two sites and in weak interaction with vibrations, is studied numerically under the application of a DC electric field. A field-induced resonance phenomenon between…
We present a quantum field theoretic formulation of acoustoelectric interactions in waveguide-like systems of arbitrary cross-section. Building on an open quantum systems approach, we derive a unified description of plasmon-phonon coupling…
We study the ac electric potential induced by the electron sound wave (a perturbation of the electron distribution function propagating with the Fermi velocity) in single crystals of high purity gallium. The potential and the elastic…
Effects of resonant acoustic phonon scattering on magnetoresistivity are examined in two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures by using a balance-equation magnetotransport scheme direct controlled by the current. The…
