Coherent switching by detuning a side-coupled quantum-dot system

Abstract

We investigate phase coherent electronic transport in an open quantum system, which consists of quantum dots side-coupled to a nanowire. It is demonstrated that coherent switching can be characterized by adjusting the electronic energy. A comparative analysis of quantum coherence effects in side-coupled quantum-dot systems is presented. Our results demonstrate the relevance of electronic nanodevices based on coherent switching by appropriately detuning the side-coupled quantum dots that are located at variable distance along a wire.
