Single-Electronics

Abstract

This project studied both theoretically and experimentally, properties on single electron (SET) and single pair tunneling (SPT) devices. The main effort was the study of the potential application of SPT devices for quantum computation (QC). Experimentally, it was demonstrated that one type of SPT device, the Bloch Transistor (BT) could have a coherent superposition of the 0 and 1 pair state. Theoretically a number of approaches for the use of SPT devices in QC were examined. It was also shown that an SET device, properly bias could be an nearly quantum limited detect. An extensive, general analysis of the continuous measurement of quantum devices was made.
