SU(4) Kondo entanglement in double quantum dot devices

Rodrigo Bonazzola, J. A. Andrade, Jorge I. Facio +2 more

We analyze, from a quantum information theory perspective, the possibility of realizing an SU(4) entangled Kondo regime in semiconductor double quantum dot devices. We focus our analysis on the ground-state properties and consider the general experimental situation where the coupling parameters of the two quantum dots differ. We model each quantum dot with an Anderson-type Hamiltonian including an interdot Coulomb repulsion and tunnel couplings for each quantum dot to independent fermionic baths. We find that the spin and pseudospin entanglements can be made equal, and the SU(4) symmetry recovered, if the gate voltages are chosen in such a way that the average charge occupancies of the two quantum dots are equal, and the double occupancy on the double quantum dot is suppressed. We present density matrix renormalization group numerical results for the spin and pseudospin entanglement entropies, and analytical results for a simplified model that captures the main physics of the problem.

EVOLUTION AND DESTRUCTION OF THE KONDO EFFECT IN A CAPACITIVELY COUPLED DOUBLE DOT SYSTEM

David E. Logan, Martin R. Galpin

We consider the simplest example of a double quantum dot system: two equivalent, capacitively coupled single-level dots, each coupled to its own lead. Focussing on a regime of two electrons on the double dot, a rich range of behaviour is found on increasing the interdot coupling: first a crossover from spin- to charge-Kondo physics, via an intermediate SU(4) state with entangled spin and charge degrees of freedom; followed by a quantum phase transition of Kosterlitz-Thouless type to a non-Fermi liquid 'charge-ordered' phase with finite residual entropy and anomalous transport properties. The numerical renormalization group method, coupled with simple physical arguments, is employed to obtain a detailed understanding of the problem.

Quantum Phase Transition in Capacitively Coupled Double Quantum Dots

Martin R. Galpin, David E. Logan, H. R. Krishnamurthy

We investigate two equivalent, capacitively coupled semiconducting quantum dots, each coupled to its own lead, in a regime where there are two electrons on the double dot. With increasing interdot coupling, a rich range of behavior is uncovered: first a crossover from spin- to charge-Kondo physics, via an intermediate SU(4) state with entangled spin and charge degrees of freedom, followed by a quantum phase transition of Kosterlitz-Thouless type to a non-Fermi-liquid "charge-ordered" phase with finite residual entropy and anomalous transport properties. Physical arguments and numerical renormalization group methods are employed to obtain a detailed understanding of the problem.
