Stochastically driven single-level quantum dot: a nanoscale finite-time thermodynamic machine and its various operational modes.
We describe a single-level quantum dot in contact with two leads as a nanoscale finite-time thermodynamic machine. The dot is driven by an external stochastic force that switches its energy between two values. In the isothermal regime, it can operate as a rechargeable battery by generating an electric current against the applied bias in response to the stochastic driving and then redelivering w...
متن کاملFinite time thermodynamics for a single level quantum dot
We investigate the finite time thermodynamics of a single-level fermion system interacting with a thermal reservoir through a tunneling junction. The optimal protocol to extract the maximum work from the system when moving the single energy level between an initial higher value and a final lower value in a finite time is calculated from a quantum master equation. The calculation also yields the...
متن کاملQuantum Theory of Electron Transport through Single-level Quantum Dot
Abstract. A new approach in the quantum theory of few-electron nanoelectronic devices – the S-matrix approach – is presented in a simple example: a single-electron transistor consisting of a single-level quantum dot connected with two metallic leads through the corresponding potential barriers. The electron transport through the quantum dot due to the electron tunneling between the dot and the ...
متن کاملVoltage-Controlled Entanglement between Quantum- Dot Molecule and its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Quantum Entropy
The time evolution of the quantum entropy in a coherently driven threelevel quantum dot (QD) molecule is investigated. The entanglement of quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission field is coherently controlled by the gat voltage and the intensity of applied field. It is shown that the degree of entanglement between a three-level quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission fields...
متن کاملModeling Refractoriness for Stochastically Driven Single Neurons
A description of the sequence of interspike intervals and of the subsequent firing times for single neurons is performed by means of an instantaneous return process in the presence of refractoriness. Every interspike interval consists of an absolute refractory period of fixed duration followed by a period of relative refractoriness whose duration is described by the first-passage time of the mo...
