Title: Charge states, triple points and quadruple points in an InAs nanowire triple quantum dot revealed by an integrated charge sensor
(Submitted on 2 Mar 2023)
Abstract: A serial triple quantum dot (TQD) integrated with a quantum dot (QD) charge sensor is realized from an InAs nanowire via a fine finger-gate technique. The complex charge states and intriguing properties of the device are studied in the few-electron regime by direct transport measurements and by charge-sensor detection measurements. The measurements of the charge stability diagram for a capacitively coupled, parallel double-QD formed from a QD in the TQD and the sensor QD show a visible capacitance coupling between the TQD and the sensor QD, indicating a good sensitivity of the charge sensor. The charge stability diagrams of the TQD are measured by the charge sensor and the global features seen in the measured charge stability diagrams are well reproduced by the simultaneous measurements of the direct transport current through the TQD and by the simulation made based on an effective capacitance network model. The complex charge stability diagrams of the TQD are measured in detail with the integrated charge sensor in an energetically degenerate region, where all the three QDs are on or nearly on resonance, and the formations of quadruple points and of all possible eight charge states are observed. In addition, the operation of the TQD as a quantum cellular automata is demonstrated and discussed.
