| contents | Electron correlation and quantum interference are pivotal in mesoscopic transport. We theoretically study the nonequilibrium transport dynamics of a triangular triple quantum dot (TTQD) molecule connected to fermionic reservoirs using the exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) formalism. We demonstrate a counter-intuitive transport signature where the stationary current is significantly enhanced by increasing the $U$, a behavior distinct from the suppression typically observed in linear quantum dot arrays. By analyzing the evolution of spectral functions, we attribute this enhancement to the interplay between Coulomb interaction-induced energy shifts and quantum interference effects unique to the triangular topology. We also explore how the circulation of chiral currents and electrode coupling strength modulates these interaction effects. Finally, we present a three-dimensional map of the transport current as a function of inter-dot tunneling ($t$) and Coulomb interaction ($U$), illustrating their combined effect on the current magnitude and its applications. |
