We measured tunneling through a quantum dot (QD) induced by shot noise of a quantum point contact (QPC). The influence of the bias voltage through the QPC and the transmission of it have been explored.
We provide a theoretical model based on the description of photon-assisted tunneling (PAT). In contrast to PAT, we do not describe the environment of the QD as a continuous wave source (e.g. a microwave) of irradiation. Instead, we apply a temperature-dependent P(E) theory to calculate tunneling rates through the QD.
