We review the recent progress in theory and experiments with lateral triple quantum dots
with controlled electron numbers down to one electron in each dot. The theory covers …

A dilute system of electrons interacting through long-range Coulomb forces has been
predicted to form a periodic solid known as a Wigner crystal. To date, this state has been …

A serial triple quantum dot (TQD) electrostatically defined in a Ga As∕ Al Ga As
heterostructure is characterized by using a nearby quantum point contact as charge …

We study the zero-bias conductance through the system of two quantum dots, one of which
is embedded directly between the source and drain electrodes, while the second dot is side …

The system of several (N) quantum dots coupled in parallel to the same single-mode
conduction channel can be modeled as a single-channel N-impurity Anderson model. Using …

We investigate a system of three tunnel-coupled semiconductor quantum dots in a triangular
geometry, one of which is connected to a metallic lead, in the regime where each dot is …

We analyze theoretically and experimentally the electronic structure and charging diagram
of three coupled lateral quantum dots filled with electrons. Using the Hubbard model and …

We investigate the effect of local Coulomb correlations on electronic transport through a
variety of coupled quantum dot systems connected to Fermi liquid leads. We use a functional …

A magnetic moment in a metal or in a quantum dot is, at low temperatures, screened by the
conduction electrons through the mechanism of the Kondo effect. This gives rise to spin-spin …

A top-gated single-wall carbon nanotube is used to define three coupled quantum dots in
series between two electrodes. The additional electron number on each quantum dot is …
