Annotation

The controllability problem for two-dimensional dissipative tunneling in the system of tunnel-coupled quantum dots (a quantum molecule), interacting quantum molecules, and the system “ACM/CTM cantilever tip-quantum dot” simulated by a 2D oscillator potential in a heat bath and an external electric field is investigated. The obtained results qualitatively correspond to the separate experimental volt-ampere characteristics (VACs) for the system “platinized ACM/CTM cantilever tip-gold quantum dot” obtained at Scientific-Research Physical-Technical Institute with Nizhnii Novgorod State University. The previously-predicted 2D tunnel bifurcations with dissipation for the case of interacting particles tunneling in parallel are found to be experimentally observed and stable.
