Since the realization of high-quality superconducting microwave cavities, one can envisage the possibility to investigate the coherent interaction of light and matter [1]. We study a parallel double quantum dot device operating as single-electron splitter interferometer, with each dot linearly coupled to a local photon cavity. We explore how quantum correlation and entanglement between the two cavities is generated by the coherent transport of a single electron passing simultaneous through the two different dots. We calculate the covariance of the cavity occupations by use of a diagrammatic perturbative expansion (Keldysh Green’s functions) to the fourth order in the dot-cavity interaction strength, taking into account vertex diagrams. In this way, we demonstrate the creation of entanglement by showing that the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality can be violated.
