Description

We propose a scheme to prepare arbitrary superpositions of quantum states in double quantum dots irradiated by coherent microwave pulses. Solving the equations of motion for the dot-density matrix, we find that dephasing rates for such superpositions can be quantitatively inferred from additional electron-current pulses that appear due to a controllable breakdown of coherent population trapping in the dots
