Probing level renormalization by sequential transport through double quantum dots

B Wunsch, M Braun, J König, D Pfannkuche - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2005 - APS
We study electron transport through double quantum dots in series. The tunnel coupling of
the discrete dot levels to external leads causes a shift of their energy. This energy …

Coherence and partial coherence in interacting electron systems

J König, Y Gefen - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
We study coherence of electron transport through interacting quantum dots and discuss the
relation of the coherent part to the flux-sensitive conductance for three different types of …

Non-Markovian quantum thermodynamics: Laws and fluctuation theorems

RS Whitney - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
This work brings together thermodynamics and nonequilibrium quantum theory, by showing
that a real-time diagrammatic technique on the Keldysh contour is an equivalent of …

Optimized auxiliary representation of non-Markovian impurity problems by a Lindblad equation

A Dorda, M Sorantin, W von der Linden… - New Journal of …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a general scheme to address correlated nonequilibrium quantum impurity
problems based on a mapping onto an auxiliary open quantum system of small size. The …

Time-convolutionless master equation for quantum dots: Perturbative expansion to arbitrary order

C Timm - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
The master equation describing the nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to
metallic leads is considered. Employing a superoperator approach, we derive an exact time …

Time scales in the dynamics of an interacting quantum dot

LD Contreras-Pulido, J Splettstoesser… - Physical Review B …, 2012 - APS
We analyze the dynamics of a single-level quantum dot with Coulomb interaction, weakly
tunnel coupled to an electronic reservoir, after it has been brought out of equilibrium, eg, by …

Perturbative approach to the nonequilibrium Kondo effect in a quantum dot

T Fujii, K Ueda - Physical Review B, 2003 - APS
The theory of quantum transport through a dot under a finite bias voltage is developed using
perturbation theory in the Keldysh formalism. It is found that the Kondo resonance splits into …

Transport statistics of interacting double dot systems: Coherent and non-Markovian effects

G Schaller, G Kießlich, T Brandes - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2009 - APS
We formalize the derivation of a generalized coarse-graining n-resolved master equation by
introducing a virtual detector counting the number of transferred charges in single-electron …

Spin effects in transport through single-molecule magnets in the sequential and cotunneling regimes

M Misiorny, I Weymann, J Barnaś - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2009 - APS
We analyze the stationary spin-dependent transport through a single-molecule magnet
weakly coupled to external ferromagnetic leads. Using the real-time diagrammatic …

Electron waiting times in non-Markovian quantum transport

KH Thomas, C Flindt - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2013 - APS
We formulate a quantum theory of electron waiting time distributions for charge transport in
nanostructures described by non-Markovian generalized master equations. We illustrate our …
