Open quantum dots: Resonances from perturbed symmetry and bound states in strong magnetic fields. (English) Zbl 0976.81006

An open quantum dot is a straight hard-wall channel with a potential well. If the potential depends only on the longitudinal variable, there are eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum, which turn into resonances if a magnetic field is applied or the well is deformed. For the case where this symmetry breaking is weak, the perturbative expansion of the above resonances is given. The authors consider also the case of a strong magnetic field. Sufficient conditions are given for the discrete spectrum to be non-empty. In particular, if the dot potential is purely attractive, then the discrete spectrum is non-empty for any magnetic field.
