Abstract: We investigate the electronic transport through two parallel double quantum dots coupled both capacitively and via a perpendicularly aligned charge qubit. The presence of the qubit leads to a modification of the coherent tunnel amplitudes of each double quantum dot. We study the influence of the qubit on the electronic steady-state currents through the system, the entanglement between the transport double quantum dots, and the back-action on the charge qubit. We use a Born-Markov secular quantum master equation for the system. The obtained currents show signatures of the qubit. The stationary qubit state may be tuned and even rendered pure by applying suitable voltages. In the Coulomb diamonds, it is also possible to stabilize pure entangled states of the transport double quantum dots.
