摘要
We describe a switching device based on Rabi oscillations. The device consists of a well region separated from a free region by a potential barrier. The potential landscape is adjusted so that one bound state and one quasi level are present. By applying a microwave field with a driving frequency close to the separation between the two levels, a particle initially in the ground state can be activated to the quasi-level, and subsequently tunnel to the free region. The probability for tunneling in the free region exhibits a plateau structure, as the wave function is emitted by bursts after each Rabi oscillation. The leakage current can then be controlled by varying the amplitude of the external field, the barrier height/width, and the frequency mismatch.
