contents Dynamic quantum dots are known to generate very accurate currents and can be used as a source of single electron wavepackets for use in quantum metrology, sensing or information processing. To realise their full technological potential, it is desirable to maximise the frequency of operation to increase the current. However, it has been observed that the mechanism of electron transfer across the quantum dot consistently breaks down for GHz frequencies, and this remains unexplained. Here, we present a novel analysis technique, combined with detailed modelling, to present a mechanism of high frequency breakdown in quantum dots as a rapidly-imparted momentum impulse. Such understanding aids future design and operation protocols, allowing their use in high frequency and real time quantum measurements and technologies.
