Abstract

Resonant tunneling in an open mesoscopic quantum dot is proposed as a vehicle to realize a tunable Fermi-edge resonance with variable coupling strength. We solve the x-ray edge problem for a generic nonseparable scatterer and apply it to describe tunneling in a quantum dot. The tunneling current power law exponent is linked to the S matrix of the dot. The control of scattering by varying the dot shape and coupling to the leads allows us to explore a wide range of exponents. The sensitivity of mesoscopic coherence to the Wigner-Dyson ensemble symmetry is replicated in the Fermi-edge singularity.
