Coherent tunneling adiabatic passage with the alternating coupling scheme

Abstract

The use of adiabatic passage techniques to mediate particle transport through real space, rather than phase space, is becoming an interesting possibility. We have investigated the properties of coherent tunneling adiabatic passage(CTAP) with alternating tunneling matrix elements. This coupling scheme, not previously considered in the donor in silicon paradigm, provides an interesting route to long-range quantum transport. We introduce simplified coupling protocols and transient eigenspectra as well as a realistic gate design for this transport protocol. Using a pairwise treatment of the tunnel couplings for a five-donor device with 30nm donor spacings, 120nm total chain length, we estimate t..
