Double quantum dot Cooper-pair splitter at finite couplings
arXiv:1608.00504 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.94.235134
Abstract
We consider the sub-gap physics of a hybrid double-quantum dot Cooper-pair splitter with large single-level spacings, in the presence of tunnelling between the dots and finite Coulomb intra- and inter-dot Coulomb repulsion. In the limit of a large superconducting gap, we treat the coupling of the dots to the superconductor exactly. We employ a generalized master-equation method which easily yields currents, noise and cross-correlators. In particular, for finite inter- and intra-dot Coulomb interaction, we investigate how the transport properties are determined by the interplay between local and nonlocal tunneling processes between the superconductor and the dots. We examine the effect of inter-dot tunneling on the particle-hole symmetry of the currents with and without spin-orbit interaction. We show that spin-orbit interaction in combination with finite Coulomb energy opens the possibility to control the nonlocal entanglement and its symmetry (singlet/triplet). We demonstrate that the generation of nonlocal entanglement can be achieved even without any direct nonlocal coupling to the superconducting lead.
