Moving a perturbation across quantum dots: tuning of Fano resonances
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a controllable way of tuning Fano resonances in open quantum dots in the absence of magnetic field. A quantum dot can be modified by changing the gate voltages that define the dot itself. An extra degree of freedom can be introduced by means of a controllable repulsive perturbation, such as the one induced by scanning a Atomic Force Microscope tip on a real sample. We numerically investigate the coupling between localized states in the dot and the continuum in the leads. The advantage of such position controllable perturbation is the selective manipulation of the quantum dot states. We show that this could be a feasible alternative to quantum dots in Aharonov-Bohm interferometers as a Fano resonance tuning device. PACS number(s) 73.40.Gk,73.21.Fg,73.21.La

Fano resonances and decoherence in transport through quantum dots
A tunable microwave scattering device is presented which allows the controlled variation of Fano line shape parameters in transmission through quantum billiards. We observe a non-monotonic evolution of resonance parameters that is explained in terms of interacting resonances. The dissipation of radiation in the cavity walls leads to decoherence and thus to a modification of the Fano profile. We...
متن کاملProbing decoherence through Fano resonances.
We investigate the effect of decoherence on Fano resonances in wave transmission through resonant scattering structures. We show that the Fano asymmetry parameter q follows, as a function of the strength of decoherence, trajectories in the complex plane that reveal detailed information on the underlying decoherence process. Dissipation and unitary dephasing give rise to manifestly different tra...
متن کاملFano resonances in nanoscale structures
Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices sensors, chips, fibers, etc. and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of most of them is based on fundamental physical phenomena, such as transport of wave excitations and resonances. Short propagation distances make phase-coherent processes of waves important. Often the scattering of waves inv...
