We consider the counting statistics of electron transport through a double quantum dot with special emphasis on the dephasing induced by a nearby charge detector. The double dot is embedded in a dissipative enviroment, and the presence of electrons on the double dot is detected with a nearby quantum point contact. Charge transport through the double dot is governed by a non-Markovian generalize...

We report on correlated real-time detection of individual electrons in an InAs nanowire double quantum dot. Two self-aligned quantum point contacts in an underlying two-dimensional electron gas material serve as highly sensitive charge detectors for the double quantum dot. Tunnel processes of individual electrons and all tunnel rates are determined by simultaneous measurements of the correlated...

We present two models of coherent quantum switches constructed from a single-electron quantum ring and a double quantum dot, respectively. The systems are driven by picosecond laser pulses obtained using quantum optimal control theory. The optimized pulses generate electron-current flips in the ring (magnetic switch) and electron transport in the double dot (charge switch) in significantly shor...

We investigate sequential tunneling transport through a semiconductor double quantum dot structure by combining a simple microscopic quantum confinement model with a Mott-Hubbard type correlation model. We calculate nonperturbatively the evolution of the Coulomb blockade oscillations as a function of the interdot barrier conductance, obtaining good qualitative agreement with the experimental da...

We report direct measurements of the charging diagram of a nanoscale series double-dot system at low temperatures. Our device consists of four metal dots, with two of them in series forming a double-dot, and the other two serving as electrometers for the double-dot system. This configuration allows us to externally detect all possible charge transitions within a double-dot system. Specifically,...

in this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled inas/gaas quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature. the microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (mbe) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section - long and short axis 2µm×1.5µ...
