Abstract:
We demonstrate the generation of robust entanglement of a quantum dot molecular system in a voltage-controlled junction. To improve the quantum information characteristics of this system, we propose an applicable protocol which contains the implementation of asymmetric quantum dots as well as the engineering of reservoirs. Quantum dots can provide asymmetric coupling coefficients due to the tunable energy barriers through the gap voltage changes. To engineer the reservoirs, superconducting leads are used to prepare a voltage-biased Josephson junction. The high-controllability properties of this system give the arbitrary magnitude of entanglement by the arrangement of parameters. Significantly, the perfect entanglement can be achieved for an asymmetric structure in response to the increase of bias voltage, and also it continues saturated with the near-unit amount.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
