Photon-Assisted Electronic Transport Through an Asymmetrically Coupled Triple-Quantum Dot Interferometer

Resumo

We present theoretically the quantum electronic transport through an interferometer asymmetrically coupled with triple quantum dots. Using the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green’s function method, the photon-assisted transport properties through the asymmetric quantum system are numerically analyzed. The sidebands of the photon-assisted tunneling process appear when driven by the time-modulated field. The average current spectra are simulated as a function of quantum dot energy to understand the roles of side-coupling strength and time-modulated field in sideband effect and electron tunneling. This is helpful in future design of the basic structures required for quantum computation applications.
