We look specifically in the regime of resonant tunnelling transport, where several channels are available for transport. Through a non-Markovian formalism under the Born approximation, we investigate the real-time evolution of the confined particles including transport-induced decoherence and relaxation. In the case of a coherent superposition between states with different particle number, we find that a Fock-space coherence may be preserved even in the presence of tunneling into and out of the dot. Real-time results are presented for various asymmetries of tunneling rates into different orbitals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-25T11:41:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charge carriers", "non-markovian dynamics", "multilevel current-carrying quantum dots", "resonant tunnelling transport", "bound particles" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics Conference Series", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 107, "number": 1, "pages": "012012" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008JPhCS.107a2012V" } } }
