• Abstract summary: Nonreciprocal effects in nanoelectronic devices offer unique possibilities for manipulating electron transport and engineering quantum electronic circuits. We provide a general input-output description of nonreciprocal transport in solid-state quantum dot architectures. We show that a nonreciprocal coupling induces unidirectional electron flow in the resonant transport regime.

• Abstract: Nonreciprocal effects in nanoelectronic devices offer unique possibilities for manipulating electron transport and engineering quantum electronic circuits for information processing purposes. However, a lack of rigorous theoretical tools is hindering this development. Here, we provide a general input-output description of nonreciprocal transport in solid-state quantum dot architectures, based on quantum optomechanical analogs. In particular, we break reciprocity between coherently-coupled quantum dots by dissipation-engineering in which these (so-called) primary dots are mutually coupled to auxiliary, damped quantum dots. We illustrate the general framework in two representative multiterminal noninteracting models, which can be used as building blocks for larger circuits. Importantly, the identified optimal conditions for nonreciprocal behavior hold even in the presence of additional dissipative effects that result from local electron-phonon couplings. Besides the analysis of the scattering matrix, we show that a nonreciprocal coupling induces unidirectional electron flow in the resonant transport regime. Altogether, our analysis provides the formalism and working principles towards the realization of nonreciprocal nanoelectronic devices.

The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.

• Decoherence Effects Break Reciprocity in Matter Transport [0.0]
  We present nanoscale devices in which decoherence, modeled by random quantum jumps, produces fundamentally novel phenomena by interrupting the unitary dynamics of electron wave packets. In these devices, the inelastic interaction of itinerant electrons with impurities acting as electron trapping centers leads to a novel steady state characterized by partial charge separation between the two leads. The interface between the quantum and the classical worlds therefore provides a novel transport regime of value for the realization of a new category of mesoscopic electronic devices.
