Noise enhancement due to quantum coherence in coupled quantum dots — •Gerold Kiesslich1, Eckehard Schöll1, Tobias Brandes1, Frank Hohls2, and Rolf J. Haug2 — 1Institut für Theroretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin — 2Institut für Festkörperphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover
We show that the intriguing observation of noise enhancement in the charge transport through two vertically coupled self-assembled quantum dots [1] can be explained by the interplay of quantum coherent coupling between the dots and strong Coulomb blockade. We demonstrate that this novel mechanism for super-Poissonian charge transfer is very sensitive to decoherence caused by electron-phonon scattering as inferred from the measured temperature dependence [2].
