We demonstrate that with a stepwise introduction of complexity to a model of an electron system embedded in a photonic cavity and a carefully controlled stepwise truncation of the ensuing many‐body space it is possible to describe the time‐dependent transport of electrons through the system with a non‐Markovian generalized quantum master equation. We show how this approach retains effects of the geometry of an anisotropic electronic system. The Coulomb interaction between the electrons and the…

Coexisting spin and Rabi oscillations at intermediate time regimes in electron transport through a photon cavity

This work theoretically model the time-dependent transport through an asymmetric double quantum dot etched in a two-dimensional wire embedded in a far-infrared photon cavity and predicts that in the presence of a transverse magnetic field the interdot Rabi oscillations appearing in the intermediate and transient regime coexist with slower non-equilibrium fluctuations in the occupation of states for opposite spin orientation.

Electron transport through a quantum dot assisted by cavity photons

We investigate transient transport of electrons through a single quantum dot controlled by a plunger gate. The dot is embedded in a finite wire with length Lx assumed to lie along the x-direction…

The statistical aspects of the field, such as intensity-intensity correlation and squeezing, are found to be both qualitatively as well as quantitatively different from the standard JC models.
