Quantum dots are nanostructures made of semiconducting materials that are engineered to hold a small amount of electric charge (a few electrons) that is controlled by external gate and may hence be considered as tunable artificial atoms. A…

A quantum dot has been etched in bilayer graphene connected by two small constrictions to the leads. We show that this structure does not behave like a single quantum dot but consists of at least three sites of localized charge in series.…
Superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices are at the heart of several proposed approaches to quantum information processing, but their basic properties remain to be understood. We embed a two-dimensional Al-InAs hybrid system in a…
Nanostructures in InAs quantum wells have so far remained outside of the scope of traditional microfabrication techniques based on etching. This is due to parasitic parallel conduction arising from charge carrier accumulation at the…
Mesoscopic Coulomb blockade (MCB) is recognized as a phase-coherent variant of the conventional Coulomb blockade that arises in systems with open contacts. In open quantum dots, MCB is enhanced by a decrease in background conductance. This…
Semiconductor nanowires can be utilized to create quantum dot qubits. The formation of quantum dots is typically achieved by means of bottom gates created by a lift-off process. As an alternative, we fabricated flat buried bottom gate…
