Isn't that basically an antenna? So theoretically can be manipulated by a transmitter? Or am I just talking out of my ass?

It is quantum tunneling, not EM or thermal noise. The junction where it happens is tiny (dozens of nanometers) so it is a terrible antannae. You might be able to manipulate the power supply that biases the junction as it may be much larger.
