Electron transport in nonideal quantum wells (QW) with large-scale variations of energy levels is studied when two subbands are occupied. Although the mean fluctuations of these two levels are screened by the in-plane redistribution of…
The carrier recombination dynamics of InGaP/InGaAsP quantum wells are reported for the first time. By studying the photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL decay of InGaP/InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well(MQW) heterostructure samples, it is…
The nature of a metal--insulator transition tuned by external gates in quantum Hall (QH) systems with point constrictions at integer bulk filling, as reported in recent experiments of Roddaro et al. [1], is addressed. We are particularly…
We propose an on-demand single photon source for quantum cryptography using a metal-insulator-semiconductor quantum dot capacitor structure. The main component in the semiconductor is a p-doped quantum well, and the cylindrical gate under…
In this paper, we present a mathematical approach in estimating transition energy of type-I core-shell quantum dots (CSQDs) in strong and weak confinement of charge carriers within the core materials. We will do this by using effective-mass…
We report on growth of InP-InAs core-shell nanowires and demonstration of the formation of single quantum structures, which show Coulomb blockade effect, over entire lengths of the nanowires. The core-shell nanowires are grown by a…
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization at millikelvin temperatures of a novel silicon single-electron transistor (Si-SET). The island and source-drain leads of the Si-SET are formed by the implantation of phosphorus…
I present an informal discussion of various cases where two-dimensional surface metal-insulator structural and charge-density-wave instabilities driven by partly filled surface states have been advocated. These include reconstructions of…
We study quantum optical properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) by introducing the effective interaction between the quantized electromagnetic field and the confined electrons in the SWCNT. Our purpose is to explore the…
We present transport measurements performed in InAs/GaSb double quantum wells. At the electron-hole crossover tuned by a gate voltage, a strong increase in the longitudinal resistivity is observed with increasing perpendicular magnetic…
In the 1960s, it was proposed that in small indirect band-gap materials, excitons can spontaneously form because the density of carriers is too low to screen the attractive Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes. The result is a…
Executing quantum logic in cryogenic quantum computers requires a continuous energy supply from room-temperature control electronics. This dependence on external energy sources creates scalability limitations due to control channel density…
We report transport mobility measurements for clean, two-dimensional (2D) electron systems confined to GaAs quantum wells (QWs), grown via molecular beam epitaxy, in two families of structures, a standard, symmetrically-doped GaAs set of…
We analyze a single electron transistor composed of two semi-infinite one dimensional quantum wires and a relatively short segment between them. We describe each wire section by a Luttinger model, and treat tunneling events in the…
Fundamental properties of two electrostatically interacting single-electron lines (SEL) are determined from a minimalistic tight-binding model. The lines are represented by a chain of coupled quantum wells that could be implemented in a…
We study experimentally the electron transport properties of gated quantum dots formed in InGaAs/InP and InAsP/InP quantum well structures grown by chemical-beam epitaxy. For the case of the InGaAs quantum well, quantum dots form directly…
We study a superconducting single-electron transistor (SSET) which is coupled to a LC-oscillator via the phase difference across one of the Josephson junctions. This leads to a strongly anharmonic coupling between the SSET and the…
Progress toward the realization of quantum computers requires persistent advances in their constituent building blocks - qubits. Novel qubit platforms that simultaneously embody long coherence, fast operation, and large scalability offer…
The cross-over from quasi-two- to quasi-one-dimensional electron transport subject to transverse electric fields and perpendicular magnetic fields are studied in the diffusive to quasiballistic and zero-field to quantum Hall regime.…
A single photoelectron can be trapped and its photoelectric charge detected by a source/drain channel in a transistor. Such a transistor photodetector can be useful for flagging the safe arrival of a photon in a quantum repeater. The…
