Fermi edge singularity and finite frequency spectral features in a semi-infinite 1D wire

Abstract

We theoretically study a charge qubit interacting with electrons in a semi-infinite 1D wire. The system displays the physics of the Fermi edge singularity. Our results generalize known results for the Fermi-edge system to the regime where excitations induced by the qubit can resolve the spatial structure of the scattering region. We find resonant features in the qubit tunneling rate as a function of the qubit level splitting. They occur at integer multiples of h times v_F/l. Here v_F is the Fermi velocity of the electrons in the wire, and l is the distance from the tip of the wire to the point where it interacts with the qubit. These features are due to a single coherent charge fluctuation in the electron gas, with a half-wavelength that fits into l an integer number of times. As the coupling between the qubit and the wire is increased, the resonances are washed out. This is a clear signature of the increasingly violent Fermi-sea shake-up that accompanies strong coupling.
