Abstract

We report measurements of the cross correlation between temporal current fluctuations in two capacitively coupled quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime. The sign of the cross-spectral density is found to be tunable by gate voltage and source-drain bias. We find good agreement with the data by including an interdot Coulomb interaction in a sequential-tunneling model.
