Which consequence results when single electrons tunnel through a quantum dot?

A)Quantized voltage and current oscillations
B)Unpredictable dissipation of thermal energy
C)Increased uncertainty of electron position
D)Destruction of quantum dot electron trapping

💡 Explanation

Quantized conductance occurs when single electrons undergo Coulomb blockade because electron tunneling charges the quantum dot in discrete steps; therefore regular, quantized oscillations emerge rather than random behavior because electron energy levels are discrete.
