16. Instead of a reference dot, the qubit dot can be coupled to a lead. To ensure that only electrons with, say, spin ↓ can tunnel, one can use spin-polarized leads or a Zeeman splitting on the dot and properly tuned energy levels [14].

21. This can be generated with (i) locally different magnetic fields. Or, with an inhomogeneous g factor as follows. (ii) Spatial variation of dot location in a heterostructure, i.e., moving electrons up/down by gates, etc. (iii) Similarly, produce a spatial variation with different orbital states by filling each dot with a different number of electrons, (iv) Different hyperfine interaction in each dot, say, by inducing a nuclear polarization in one dot by the QPC current (v) Different Rashba interaction, (vi) optical Stark effect [C. Cohen-Tannoudji and J. Dupont-Roc, Phys. Rev. A 5, 968 (1972); J. A. Gupta et al., Science 292, 2458 (2001) ], or (vii) differently distributed magnetic impurities in each dot.

23. Assuming ergodicity, the (ensemble-averaged) stationary current 7 is equal to the time-averaged current of a single measurement run.
