On demand entanglement in double quantum dots via coherent carrier scattering

F Buscemi, Paolo Bordone, Andrea Bertoni

Published Jan 17, 2011• 11 citations

Abstract

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.

ENTANGLEMENT CREATION IN SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM DOT CHARGE QUBIT

FABRIZIO BUSCEMI, PAOLO BORDONE, Andrea Bertoni

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.

Dynamics of interacting transport qubits

Christian Nietner, Gernot Schaller, Christina Pöltl +1 more

We investigate the electronic transport through two parallel double quantum dots coupled both capacitively and via a perpendicularly aligned charge qubit. The presence of the qubit leads to a modification of the coherent tunnel amplitudes of each double quantum dot. We study the influence of the qubit on the electronic steady-state currents through the system, the entanglement between the transport double quantum dots, and the back-action on the charge qubit. We use a Born-Markov secular quantum master equation for the system. The obtained currents show signatures of the qubit. The stationary qubit state may be tuned and even rendered pure by applying suitable voltages. In the Coulomb diamonds, it is also possible to stabilize pure entangled states of the transport double quantum dots.

Entanglement generation through an open quantum dot: Exact two-electron scattering state in the Anderson model

Takashi Imamura, Akinori Nishino, Naomichi Hatano

We analytically study entanglement generation through an open quantum-dot system described by the two-lead Anderson model. We exactly obtain the transition rate between the nonentangled incident state in one lead and the outgoing spin-singlet state in the other lead. We find that only the spin-singlet state can transmit in the cotunneling process. To discuss such an entanglement property in the open quantum system, we construct the exact two-electron scattering state of the Anderson model. It is striking that the scattering state contains spin-singlet bound states induced by the Coulomb interaction. The bound state describes a scattering process in which the set of momenta is not conserved and hence, it is not in the form of a Bethe eigenstate.

Correlation and Entanglement, Scattering through Two Coupled Quantum Dots

Jalal Abdulrahman

In this thesis we theoretically investigate quantum correlations and entanglement of electron scatterers through two coupled quantum dots (QDs). The interaction is described in terms of two-particle collisions modeled by two-particle scattering matrix. The correlation between the two dots is expressed in terms of density-of-states matrices. Wave packets are introduced into each system and for the entanglement measure we use concurrence.
