With non-invasive methods, we investigate ground and excited states of a lateral quantum dot. Charge detection via a quantum point contact is used to map the dot dynamics in a regime where the current through the dot is too low for transport measurements. In this way we investigate and compare the tunneling rates from the dot to source and drain. We find a symmetry line on which the tunneling rates to both leads are equal. In this situation ground states as well as excited states influence the mean charge of the dot. A detailed study in this regime reveals that the coupling symmetry depends on the number of states contributing to transport and on the spatial distribution of individual states.

Exciton levels and fine-structure splitting in laterally-coupled quantum dot molecules are studied. The electron and hole tunneling energies as well as the direct Coulomb interaction are essential for the exciton levels. It is found that fine-structure splitting of the two-lowest exciton levels is contributed from the intra- and inter-dot exchange interactions, both of which are largely influenced by the symmetry and tunnel-coupling between the two dots. As the inter-dot separation is reduced, fine-structure splitting of the exciton ground state is largely increased while those of the excited states are decreased. Moreover, the dependence of the fine-structure splitting in quantum dot molecules on the Coulomb correlation is clearly clarified.
Among the different platforms for quantum information processing, individual electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots stand out for their long coherence times and potential for scalable fabrication. The past years have witnessed substantial progress in the capabilities of spin qubits. However, coupling between distant electron spins, which is required for quantum error correction, presents a challenge, and this goal remains the focus of intense research. Quantum teleportation is a canonical method to transmit qubit states, but it has not been implemented in quantum-dot spin qubits. Here, we present evidence for quantum teleportation of electron spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots. Although we have not performed quantum state tomography to definitively assess the teleportation fidelity, our data are consistent with conditional teleportation of spin eigenstates, entanglement swapping, and gate teleportation. Such evidence for all-matter spin-state teleportation underscores the capabilities of exchange-coupled spin qubits for quantum-information transfer.
We consider a square lattice configuration of circular gate-defined quantum dots in an unbiased graphene sheet and calculate the electronic, particularly spectral properties of finite albeit actual sample sized systems by means of a numerically exact kernel polynomial expansion technique. Analyzing the local density of states and the momentum resolved photoemission spectrum we find clear evidence for a series of quasi-bound states at the dots, which can be probed by optical measurements. We further analyze the interplay of the superlattice structure with dot localized modes on the electron energy dispersion. Effects of disordered dot lattices are discussed too.
We systematically study the coupling of longitudinal modes (shells) in a carbon nanotube quantum dot. Inelastic cotunneling spectroscopy is used to probe the excitation spectrum in parallel, perpendicular and rotating magnetic fields. The data is compared to a theoretical model including coupling between shells, induced by atomically sharp disorder in the nanotube. The calculated excitation spectra show good correspondence with experimental data.
Universal properties of entangled many-body states are controlled by their symmetry and quantum fluctuations. By magnetic-field tuning of the spin-orbital degeneracy in a Kondo-correlated quantum dot, we have modified quantum fluctuations to directly measure their influence on the many-body properties along the crossover from $SU(4)$ to $SU(2)$ symmetry of the ground state. High-sensitive current noise measurements combined with the non-equilibrium Fermi liquid theory clarify that the Kondo resonance and electron correlations are enhanced as the fluctuations, measured by the Wilson ratio, increase along the symmetry crossover. Our achievement demonstrates that non-linear noise constitutes a measure of quantum fluctuations that can be used to tackle quantum phase transitions.
