The main advantage of this device is that single particle processes are forbidden by energy conservation as proposed by Oliver et al\\cite{oli02}. Within this model we calculated two electron transition amplitude, in terms of the T-matrix, to all orders in the coupling to the dot, and consider a finite lead bandwidth. The model filters singlet entangled pairs with the sole requirement of Pauli principle. Feynman paths involving consecutive and doubly occupied dot interfere destructively and produce a transition amplitude minimum at a critical value of the onsite repulsion $U$. Singlet filtering is demonstrated as a function of a gate voltage applied to the dot with a special resonance condition when the dot levels are symmetrically placed about the input lead energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-02-24T19:29:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interacting quantum dot", "entangled electronic state", "occupied dot interfere", "model filters singlet entangled pairs", "electron transition amplitude" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
