Many-body Tunneling and Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Doublons in Strongly Correlated Quantum Dots

Abstract Quantum tunneling dominates coherent transport at low temperatures in many systems of great interest. In this work we report a many–body tunneling (MBT), by nonperturbatively solving the Anderson multi-impurity model, and identify it a fundamental tunneling process on top of the well–acknow...
