Performing a systematic perturbation expansion in the tunnel-coupling strength, we compute the charge pumped through a single-level quantum dot per pumping cycle. The combination of Coulomb interaction and quantum fluctuations, accounted for in contributions of higher order in the tunnel coupling, modifies the pumping characteristics via an interaction-dependent renormalization of the quantum-dot level. The latter is even responsible for the {\\em dominant} contribution to the pumped charge when pumping via time-dependent tunnel-coupling strengths.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-09-04T13:16:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb interaction", "tunnel coupling", "adiabatic pumping", "tunnel-coupling strength", "systematic perturbation expansion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
