Backaction Dephasing by a Quantum Dot Detector    [PDF]

Toshihiro Kubo, Yasuhiro Tokura
We derive an analytical expression for the backaction dephasing rate, which characterizes the disturbance induced by coupling with an environment containing a quantum dot detector (QDD). In this letter, we show that charge noise induces backaction dephasing in an explicit form. In the linear transport regime through a QDD, this backaction dephasing induced by charge noise can be explained as a relaxation by an inelastic electron-electron scattering in Fermi liquid theory. In the low bias voltage regime, the increase or decrease of dephasing rate depends on the QDD energy level, the linewidth functions, and how to apply the bias voltage. Unlike quantum point contact, the dephasing rate would be insensitive to the bias voltage in a high bias voltage regime because of the saturation of charge noise in a QDD.
