Abstract:
The problem of construction of quantum multiplexer is discussed. A possible construction based on resonance transport properties
of quantum waveguides coupled through small windows is considered. Small apertures play double role of “connecting channels"
and “resonant elements". Transmission coefficients for the system are determined. The workability of the device as a quantum
switch to one of three (or to two of three) channels is discussed. Control parameters for the switch are electron energy and
bias voltage.
