Intrinsic decoherence theory applied to single C₆₀ solid state transistors: Robustness in the transmission regimen

In relation to a given Hamiltonian and intrinsic decoherence, there are subspaces for which coherence remains robust. Robustness can be classified by the parameter ratios (integer, rational or irrational numbers) defining each subspace. Of particular novelty in this work is application to the single-C₆₀ transistor where coherence becomes robust in the tunnel transmission regime. In this case, the intrinsic-decoherence parameter defining the theory is explicitly evaluated in good agreement with experimental data. Many of these results are expected to hold for standard quantum dots and mesoscopic devices.
