%Z We thank H. Schoeller and U. Schollwock for fruitful discussions and S. Trellenkamp for e-beam writing, as well as S. Estevez Hernandez, H. Kertz, H. Pfeifer, W. Harneit, and J. Lauer for technical assistance. We acknowledge the DFG (FOR 912) and the EU under the FP7 STREP program SINGLE for funding.
%X We demonstrate single-electron addition to different strands of a carbon nanotube rope. Anticrossings of anomalous conductance peaks occur in quantum transport measurements through the parallel quantum dots forming on the individual strands. We determine the magnitude and the sign of the hybridization as well as the Coulomb interaction between the carbon nanotube quantum dots, finding that the bonding states dominate the transport. In a magnetic field the hybridization is shown to be selectively suppressed due to spin effects.
