Dynamical Coulomb blockade and spin-entangled electrons
arXiv:cond-mat/0307444 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.267003
Abstract
We consider the production of mobile and nonlocal pairwise spin-entangled electrons from tunneling of a BCS-superconductor (SC) to two normal Fermi liquid leads. The necessary mechanism to separate the two electrons coming from the same Cooper pair (spin-singlet) is achieved by coupling the SC to leads with a finite resistance. The resulting dynamical Coulomb blockade effect, which we describe phenomenologically in terms of an electromagnetic environment, is shown to be enhanced for tunneling of two spin-entangled electrons into the same lead compared to the process where the pair splits and each electron tunnels into a different lead. On the other hand in the pair-split process, the spatial correlation of a Cooper pair leads to a current suppression as a function of distance between the two tunnel junctions which is weaker for effectively lower dimensional SCs.
