Inducing spin-correlations and entanglement in a double quantum dot
through non-equilibrium transport
   [PDF]

C. A. Büsser, F. Heidrich-Meisner
For a double quantum dot system in a parallel geometry, we demonstrate that by combining the effects of a flux and driving an electrical current through the structure, the spin correlations between electrons localized in the dots can be controlled at will. In particular, a current can induce spin correlations even if the spins are uncorrelated in the initial equilibrium state. Therefore, we are able to engineer an entangled state in this double-dot structure. We take many-body correlations fully into account by simulating the real-time dynamics using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. Using a canonical transformation, we provide an intuitive explanation for our results, related to Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida physics driven by the bias.
