摘要:

由于纳米制造的最新进展和量子点作为量子计算候选者的实现,通过半导体量子点的电荷和自旋输运的研究正在经历复兴。在这项工作中,我们结合原子的电子结构计算与量子主方程方法来研究电子和空穴通过强限制量子点耦合到两个引线的电压偏置的传输。我们发现两个最低准粒子能级之间的能量间距和交换相互作用的强度之间的竞争决定了两个最低准粒子能级的自旋态。具体地,低密度的电子状态导致自旋单线态是最低能量的两电子状态,而相反,高密度的状态和显著的交换相互作用导致自旋三线态是最低能量的两空穴状态。交换相互作用也是导致输运性质中的自旋阻塞的原因,根据我们的计算,对于强限制的胶体量子点,自旋阻塞可以持续到高达77K的温度。最后,我们将这些发现与使用电压偏置在量子点中制备和操纵单重态和三重态自旋量子比特态有关。

英文摘要:

The study of charge and spin transport through semiconductor quantum dots is experiencing a renaissance due to recent advances in nano-fabrication and the realization of quantum dots as candidates for quantum computing. In this work, we combine atomistic electronic structure calculations with quantum master equation methods to study the transport of electrons and holes through strongly confined quantum dots coupled to two leads with a voltage bias. We find that a competition between the energy spacing between the two lowest quasiparticle energy levels and the strength of the exchange interaction determines the spin states of the lowest two quasiparticle energy levels. Specifically, the low density of electron states results in a spin singlet being the lowest energy two-electron state whereas, in contrast, the high density of states and significant exchange interaction results in a spin triplet being the lowest energy two-hole state. The exchange interaction is also responsible for spin blockades in transport properties, which could persist up to temperatures as high as 77K for strongly confined colloidal quantum dots from our calculations. Lastly, we relate these findings to the preparation and manipulation of singlet and triplet spin qubit states in quantum dots using voltage biases.
