33. When ∈<0, similar physics can be discussed using the picture of holes.
34. It has been shown in Ref. 26 that for a two-dimensional quantum dot the orbital degrees of freedom does not contribute to the particle current in the presence of a rotating magnetic field.

38. Note that the total charge current is conserved so that the charge current of the right lead is equal to that of the left lead.
39. Equation (48) can be shown mathematically from Eqs. (39)-(41) by changing E to -E.
