14. The factors (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) are defined as (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) represents the detuning between two quantum states in the left and right dot. The addition energy is defined as (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) represent the total capacitance and the level spacing for the single dots.
15. For simplicity, we adopt a rather simple picture here. In fact, (Formula presented) represents the chemical potential of the left/right dot associated with the ground-state transition (Formula presented) when it is aligned with the chemical potential of the drain/source contact.

19. The tunnel splitting in direction (Formula presented) can be neglected when two dots are weakly coupled. The splitting observed results from the electrostatic coupling of the two dots, which is proportional to the interdot capacitance.

21. Here we only show the coupling dependence of the detuning at side-peak (Formula presented) since it has smaller error than that of side-peak (Formula presented)
