Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) dip
Dip size and shape depends on wave packet overlap and width τe
Indistinguishable electrons neededDC voltage: •continuous stream of electrons•but 2-e- interference cannot be interpreted as overlap between 2 single-particle wave packetsTriggered AC emitter: generating 1-e- wave packets at well-defined times
Realization:•Quantum dots: charge quantization•Quantum Hall regime: ballistic, 1D, chiral edge channels
•AlGaAs/GaAs 2DEG •n=1,9x10-11 cm-2
•µ=2,4x106 cm2/Vs•B=2,68T, ν=3 filling factor•QD addition energy Δ=1,4K•electron temperature 100 mK
QDot: •2,1 GHz square wave on top gate: p2p amplitude is the addition energy Δ e- followed by h+
•τe=58±7 ps average emission time•Tunnel coupling (with D=0,45±0,05 transmission) to an edge channel
• Tunnel emission of single particles form a discrete dot level: exponential decay confirmed
