Designing a symmetry protected molecular device
arXiv:1211.0984 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.86.165410
Abstract
Realizing a quantum transistor built of molecules or quantum dots has been one of the most ambitious challenges in nanotechnology. Even though remarkable progress has been made, being able to gate and control nanometer scale objects, as well to interconnect them to achieve scalability remains extremely difficult. Most experiments concern a single quantum dot or molecule, and they are made at ultra low temperature to avoid decoherence and tunneling. We propose to use canonical transformations to design quantum devices that are protected by symmetry, and therefore, may be operational at high temperatures. We illustrate the idea with examples of quantum transistor architectures that can be connected both in series and parallel.
