• Abstract summary: We study the transient dynamics of two interacting parallel quantum dots weakly coupled to macroscopic leads. The stationary particle current of this quantum system is sensitive to perturbations much smaller than any other energy scale. We show that this behavior bears the potential of utilizing the parallel dots as a charge sensor.

• Abstract: We study the transient dynamics subject to quantum coherence effects of two interacting parallel quantum dots weakly coupled to macroscopic leads. The stationary particle current of this quantum system is sensitive to perturbations much smaller than any other energy scale, specifically compared to the system-lead coupling and the temperature. We show that this is due to the presence of a parity-like symmetry in the dynamics, as a consequence of which, two distinct stationary states arise. In the presence of small perturbations breaking this symmetry, the system exhibits metastability with two metastable phases that can be approximated by a combination of states corresponding to stationary states in the unperturbed limit. Furthermore, the long-time dynamics can be described as classical dynamics between those phases, leading to a unique stationary state. In particular, the competition of those two metastable phases explains the sensitive behavior of the stationary current towards small perturbations. We show that this behavior bears the potential of utilizing the parallel dots as a charge sensor which makes use of quantum coherence effects to achieve a signal to noise ratio that is not limited by the temperature. As a consequence, the parallel dots outperform an analogous single-dot charge sensor for a wide range of temperatures.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  Correlated quantum systems feature a wide range of nontrivial effects emerging from interactions between their constituting particles. In nonequilibrium scenarios, these manifest in phenomena such as many-body insulating states and anomalous scaling laws of currents of conserved quantities. We propose a giant rectification scheme based on the asymmetric interplay between strong particle interactions and a tilted potential.
