Large Spin Entangled Current from a Passive Device
arXiv:0801.4411 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/11/1/013018
Abstract
We show that a large entangled current can be produced from a very simple passive device: a cluster of three resonant quantum dots, tunnel coupled to one input lead and two output leads. The device can function in a `clean' mode, when almost all emitted electrons are paired in Bell states, or a `dirty' mode with a far higher emission rate but a significant portion of non-entangled electrons. Subsequent charge detection can enhance performance by identifying the pairs that are most likely to be entangled. The device is robust to specific choice of system parameters and therefore lends itself to immediate experimental demonstration. Applications include quantum repeaters and unconditionally secure interfaces.
