Many-Body Coherence in Quantum Transport
arXiv:2304.11151 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.125422
Abstract
In this study, we propose the concept of harnessing quantum coherence to control electron transport in a many-body system. Combining an open quantum system technique based on Hubbard operators, we show that many-body coherence can eliminate the well-known Coulomb staircase and cause strong negative differential resistance. To explore the mechanism, we analytically derive the current-coherence relationship in the zero electron-phonon coupling limit. Furthermore, by incorporating a gate field, we demonstrate the possibility of constructing a coherence-controlled transistor. This development opens up a new direction for exploring quantum electronic devices based on many-body coherence.
