Carrier-carrier entanglement and transport resonances in semiconductor quantum dots

Abstract

We study theoretically the entanglement created in a scattering between an electron, incoming from a source lead, and another electron bound in the ground state of a quantum dot, connected to two leads. We analyze the role played by the different kinds of resonances in the transmission spectra and by the number of scattering channels, into the amount of quantum correlations between the two identical carriers. It is shown that the entanglement between their energy states is not sensitive to the presence of Breit-Wigner resonances, while it presents a peculiar behavior in correspondence to Fano peaks: two close maxima separated by a minimum for a two-channel scattering and a single maximum for a multichannel scattering. Such a behavior is ascribed to the different mechanisms characterizing the two types of resonances. Our results suggest that the production and detection of entanglement in quantum dot structures may be controlled by the manipulation of Fano resonances through external fields.

ENTANGLEMENT CREATION IN SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM DOT CHARGE QUBIT

Fabrizio Buscemi, Paolo Bordone

We study theoretically the appearance of quantum correlations in two- and three-electron scattering in single and double dots. The key role played by transport resonances into entanglement formation between the single-particle states is shown. Both reflected and transmitted components of the scattered particle wavefunction are used to evaluate the quantum correlations between the incident carrier and the bound particle(s) in the dots. Our investigation provides a guideline for the analysis of decoherence effects due to the Coulomb scattering in semiconductor quantum dots structures.

Correspondence between entanglement and Fano resonance of surface plasmons

Guang-Yin Chen, Yueh-Nan Chen

We investigate the Fano resonance of the scattering spectra in a system consisting of a metal nanowire coupled to two colloidal quantum dots. By varying the coupling strengths and the energy spacings of the quantum dot qubits, we find that both the line shapes and the presence of the Fano resonance can be controlled. Furthermore, the degree of two-qubit entanglement can vary from unity to zero when the Fano resonance occurs. This indicates that there exists correlations between the two-qubit entanglement and the Fano resonance.

Two-electron entanglement in quasi-one-dimensional systems: Role of resonances

Alexander López, Otto Rendón, Víctor M. Villaba +1 more

We analyze the role of resonances in two-fermion entanglement production for a quasi-one-dimensional two-channel scattering problem. We solve exactly for the problem of a two-fermion antisymmetric product state scattering off a double-$\ensuremath{\delta}$-well potential. It is shown that the two-particle concurrence of the post-selected state has an oscillatory behavior where the concurrence vanishes at the values of momenta for virtual bound states in the double well. These concurrence zeros are interpreted in terms of the uncertainty in the knowledge of the state of the one-particle subspace-reduced one-particle density matrix. Our results suggest the manipulation of fermion entanglement production through the resonance structure of quantum dots.

On demand entanglement in double quantum dots via coherent carrier scattering

F Buscemi, Paolo Bordone, Andrea Bertoni

We show how two qubits encoded in the orbital states of two quantum dots can be entangled or disentangled in a controlled way through their interaction with a weak electron current. The transmission/reflection spectrum of each scattered electron, acting as an entanglement mediator between the dots, shows a signature of the dot–dot entangled state. Strikingly, while a few scattered carriers produce decoherence of the whole two-dot system, a larger number of electrons injected from one lead with proper energy are able to recover its quantum coherence. Our numerical simulations are based on a real-space solution of the three-particle Schrödinger equation with open boundaries. The computed transmission amplitudes are inserted in the analytical expression for the system density matrix to evaluate the entanglement.

Optical detection of quantum entanglement between two quantum dots mear a metal nanoparticle

Yong He, Ka-Di Zhu

We theoretically study the interaction between two semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) and a metal nanoparticle\ (MNP) within the quantum description. The plasmon field produced in the MNP excited by the external field can play the platform of F\"{o}rster energy transfer between two SQDs which gives rise to the generation of entangled states. The Fano effect can be shown in the energy absorption spectrum of MNP, which originates from constructive or destructive interference between two competing optical pathways. Since the generated entangled state is in one pathway, the steady-state concurrence of entanglement can be evaluated by the observation of Fano profile. Because the concurrence of two SQDs is determined by both the pump intensity and the energy difference, one can properly choose these two parameters for detecting the non-negligible entanglement. When the pump intensity is very strong, there is no entanglement. The method to observe entanglement with the Fano profile, so, has a limited range of applicability. The optical observation is a novel approach to reveal entanglement. It may be used to optically detect quantum entanglement in many solid-state systems.
