Signatures of classical chaos in gate-defined graphene quantum dots

ORAL

Abstract

A generic, non-integrable, gate-potential can not confine electrons in graphene. Integrable gate-defined quantum dots, in contrast, do have well defined bound states. This difference between integrable and non-integrable graphene quantum dots is revealed in e.g. the two terminal conductance, whose dependence on the gate potential strength is starkly different for the two cases.
