在本篇論文中,我們所要討論的是電子自旋糾纏。糾纏態可以藉 由雙電子經過量子點來產生。此量子點模型有一個輸入端與兩個輸出 端,而且這個量子點本身具有某些交換對稱性。在此只針對transition amplitude 做討論,且只考慮transition amplitude 的最低階項。除了按 部就班地計算出所有結果外,也可以利用量子點模型的對稱性來簡略 計算。無論量子點內有多少能階,所有transition amplitudes 的結果都 與庫倫交互作用有關。結果中所有特殊因子都可以用量子點的對稱性 來說明,例如像庫倫交互作用這樣特殊的因子。因為在考慮transition amplitudes 的多階項後此對稱性將不再存在,所以此對稱是近似互換 的對稱。
In this thesis we re-investigate the electron spin-entangler that consists of a single-level quantum dot, an input lead and two output leads. We find that there are two exchange symmetries among the two-electron transition amplitudes in the lowest order of calculation O(V4). Via the exchange transformations all the virtual tunneling paths that contributes to the transition amplitudes can be obtained a small set of virtual paths called the inequivalent virtual paths in the thesis. We show that all the transition amplitudes can be calculated by considering only the inequivalent paths. We also find that all the fully suppressed transition amplitudes in O(V4) are odd-symmetric under both the exchange transformations. The exchange symmetry does not exist in higher orders of calculation.
