Real-Time Detection and Control of Correlated Charge Tunneling in a Quantum Dot
arXiv:2405.16724 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.046303
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the real-time detection and control of correlated charge tunneling in a dynamically driven quantum dot. Specifically, we measure the joint distribution of waiting times between tunneling charges and show that the waiting times for holes may be strongly correlated due to the periodic drive and the Coulomb interactions on the dot, although the electron waiting times are not. Our measurements are in excellent agreement with a theoretical model that allows us to develop a detailed understanding of the correlated tunneling events. We also demonstrate that the degree of correlations can be controlled by the drive. Our experiment paves the way for systematic real-time investigations of correlated electron transport in low-dimensional nanostructures.
