Correlation and Entanglement, Scattering through Two Coupled Quantum Dots

Abstract: In this thesis we theoretically investigate quantum correlations and entanglement of electron scatterers through two coupled quantum dots (QDs). The interaction is described in terms of two-particle collisions modeled by two-particle scattering matrix. The correlation between the two dots is expressed in terms of density-of-states matrices. Wave packets are introduced into each system and for the entanglement measure we use concurrence.
