Studying Quantum Phase-Based Electronic Devices

Abstract

A study was undertaken to examine, theoretically, quantum phase-based electronic device. The study was implemented through examination of moments of the Wigner Distribution Function, time dependent solutions to Schrodingers equation in two dimensions and solutions to the equation of motion of the Density Matrix. Solutions were obtained using numerical methods. A variety of problems were considered including simulation of resonant tunneling structures, electron diffraction through an aperture in a potential well, and examination of the Aharanov-Bohm effect.
