9. Our analysis can also be applied the two-dimensional quantum dot similar to the experiment of Ref. 3, but with leads connected to the dot through narrow constrictions (play the role of barrier) controlled by a gate voltage.
10. For the GaAs system with a=1000 A, the energy unit is E=56 μeV.
11. This formula can be derived using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function method and we have assumed that the Coulomb blockade effect can be neglected.
12. A factor of two has been included for spin.
