Quantum dots with tunable barriers can be used as single electron pumps. By capturing a well-defined number of electrons n from source and emitting them to drain with a high frequency f a quantized current I=nef is produced, where e is the electron charge [1]. This concept is useful for on-demand electron sources for electron quantum optics and for the redefinition of the ampere by fixing the value of e.

So far, mainly the back-tunneling process has been studied, as it is the limiting factor to the accuracy of a single-electron pump. In this work, we study the loading of electrons into the dynamic quantum dot using custom-tailored waveforms. This allows us to investigate in-tunneling rates to the dot and extract information on ground- and excited states. Their dependencies are studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Our goal is to extract an absolute energy scale that may be used for the description of the back-tunneling process, for example in the decay-cascade model [2].
