Can you detect the extra charge in the dot?
For how long there is an extra charge in the dot in a successful cotunneling event?
How to detect?Simpler case:
sequential tunneling

FQMC13Summary
ageneralizing the measurement scheme of sequential tunneling
,
athe cotunneling time can be defined via weak values
,
3eThe cotunneling time may deviate from the prediction of the uncertainty principle
