Dynamic Coulomb blockade in single-lead quantum dots

Abstract
We investigate transient dynamic response of an Anderson impurity quantum dot to a family of ramp-up driving voltage applied to the single coupling lead. Transient current is calculated based on a hierarchical equations of motion formalism for open dissipative systems [J. Chem. Phys. 128, 234703 (2008)]. In the nonlinear response and nonadiabatic charging regime, characteristic resonance features of transient response current reveal distinctly and faithfully the energetic configuration of the quantum dot. We also discuss and comment on both the physical and numerical aspects of the theoretical formalism used in this work.
