Pauli Spin Blockade in a Resonant Triple Quantum Dot Molecule
arXiv:2112.14810 · doi:10.1063/5.0098716
Abstract
Pauli spin blockade in quantum dot systems occurs when the charge transport is allowed only for some spin states, and it has been an efficient tool in spin-based qubit devices in semiconductors. We theoretically investigate a Pauli spin blockade in a triple quantum dot molecule consisting of three identical quantum dots in a semiconductor in the presence of an external magnetic field through the molecule. When the three-electron state is on resonance with two- or four-electron states, the Aharonov-Bohm oscillation and the Zeeman splitting lead to a periodic spin blockade effect. We focus on the spin blockade at a two- and three-electron resonance, and show that we can tune the magnetic field to selectively allow only spin-singlet or spin-triplet state to add an additional electron from tunnel-coupled leads. This spin blockade maintains the three quantum dots at the optimal sweet spot against the charge noise, demonstrating its potential as an efficient readout scheme for the qubits in quantum dot systems.
