Efficient quantum control of electron states in ballistic waveguides
Abstract
A joint team from University at Buffalo and SUNY Polytechnic Institute will develop principles and technologies for a direct manipulation of electron quantum states in semiconductor ballistic waveguides by applied electric potential. The technical approach relies on a specially designed nanoscale semiconductor structure where electrons travel as one dimensional waves, and high efficiency gate electrodes control the electron wave propagation in Y shaped branching waveguides. This device operation is conceptually different from transistors, and potentially allows overcoming fundamental constraints limiting performance of microwave and fast digital components.
