A7: Feedback control of quantum transport

Principal investigator*:

Prof. Dr. Tobias Brandes

Project summary:

We will develop a theory of feedback control of quantum transport in the solid state, with a particular focus on single electron transport in nanostructures such as quantum dots. Systems of partial differential equations representing the feedback master equations will be analysed, and we will explore new methods for quantum transport and time-dependent full counting statistics beyond the standard Liouvillian perturbation theory. Applications are in high accuracy electron-pumping and the controlled suppression of noise and decoherence in quantum transport.
