We investigate quantum fluctuations in the non-local resistance of an open quantum dot which is connected to four reservoirs via quantum point contacts. In this four-terminal quantum dot the voltage path can be separated from the current path. We measured non-local resistance fluctuations of several hundreds of Ohms, which have been characterized as a function of bias voltage, gate voltage and perpendicular magnetic field. The amplitude of the resistance fluctuations is strongly reduced when the coupling between the voltage probes and the dot is enhanced. Along with experimental results, we present a theoretical analysis based on the Landauer-B{u}ttiker formalism. While the theory predicts non-local resistance fluctuations of considerably larger amplitude than what has been observed, agreement with theory is very good if an additional dephasing mechanism is assumed.
We report the observation of Coulomb blockade in a quantum dot contacted by two quantum point contacts each with a single fully-transmitting mode, a system previously thought to be well described without invoking Coulomb interactions. At temperatures
Converting information into work has during the last decade gained renewed interest as it gives insight into the relation between information theory and thermodynamics. Here we theoretically investigate an implementation of Maxwells demon in a double
Low-temperature transport properties of a lateral quantum dot formed by overlaying finger gates in a clean one-dimensional channel are investigated. Continuous and periodic oscillations superimposed upon ballistic conductance steps are observed, when
We study electron transport through a quantum dot, connected to non-magnetic leads, in a magnetic field. A super-Poissonian electron noise due to the effects of both interacting localized states and dynamic channel blockade is found when the Coulomb
The charge of the subgap states in an Andreev quantum dot (AQD; this is a quantum dot inserted into a superconducting loop) is very sensitive to the magnetic flux threading the loop. We study the sensitivity of this device as a function of its parame
