Quantum transport of electrons through a parallel-coupled triple quantum-dot molecule

In this article we study the electronic transport through a triple quantum-dot molecule parallel-coupled to leads under a magnetic field. Analytical expressions are obtained for both the conductance and total density of states for the molecule in equilibrium at zero temperature. As a result of quantum interference of resonances belonging to different channels, this configuration exhibits bound states in the continuum (BICs). We examine the broadenings of the molecular states around the conditions under which BICs occur, finding long-lived states extremely robust under variations of the magneti...
