Abstract

We study the coherent dynamics of one- and two-electron transport in a linear array of tunnel-coupled quantum dots. We find that this system exhibits a rich variety of coherent phenomena, ranging from electron wavepacket propagation and interference to two-particle bonding and entanglement. Our studies, apart from their relevance to the exploratio no fquantum dynamics and transport in periodic structures, are also aimed at possible applications in future quantum computation schemes.
