Feedback Control of Quantum Transport

Abstract

The current through nanostructures like quantum dots can be stabilized by a feedback loop that continuously adjusts system parameters as a function of the number of tunnelled particles $n$. At large times, the feedback loop freezes the fluctuations of $n$ which leads to highly accurate, continuous single particle transfers. For the simplest case of feedback acting simultaneously on all system parameters, we show how to reconstruct the original full counting statistics from the frozen distribution.
