20. We made several simulations for wider overlapping parts, i.e., for 200 nm, and did not find any change in results.

22. We checked that results obtained for potential step Δ V = 0.19 meV (negatively charged dot) when the range of the Coulomb interaction between particles is limited to 600 nm were identical with those for Δ V = 0.28 meV. It results from the fact that in both cases the same low-energy part of the electron wave packet reflects due to Coulomb interaction and does not enter the ring at all.
