Electron Transport in Coupled Quantum Dots

Abstract

In the course of the investigation funded by this proposal we fabricated, modeled, and measured a variety of quantum dot structures in order to better understand how such nanostructures might be used for computation. Our interest in doing so was motivated by discussions in the literature of radically different schemes for computation involving cellular automata or quantum mechanical computation. Understanding how quantum dots interact with each other and with their leads is important to their potential application in these schemes.
