Single Quantum Level Electron Turnstile.
We report on the realization of a single-electron source, where current is transported through a single-level quantum dot (Q) tunnel coupled to two superconducting leads (S). When driven with an ac gate voltage, the experiment demonstrates electron turnstile operation. Compared to the more conventional superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor turnstile, our superconductor-quantum-dot-supercon...
متن کاملElectron waiting times of a periodically driven single-electron turnstile
We investigate the distribution of waiting times between electrons emitted from a periodically driven single-electron turnstile. To this end, we develop a scheme for analytic calculations of the waiting time distributions for arbitrary periodic driving protocols. We illustrate the general framework by considering a driven tunnel junction before moving on to the more involved single-electron tur...
متن کاملA Turnstile Based Single Electron Memory Element
In this paper we investigate single electron tunneling (SET) devices from the logic design perspective, using the SET tunnel junction’s ability to control the transport of individual electrons. More in particular, we investigate the behavior of a modified version of the SET turnstile circuit and propose applying the circuit as a single electron encoded logic (SEEL) memory element. We analyze th...
متن کاملRobust HSPICE modeling of a single electron turnstile
This paper presents a novel HSPICE circuit model for designing and simulating a Single-Electron (SE) turnstile, as applicable at the nanometric feature sizes. The proposed SE model consists of two nearly similar parts whose operation is independent of each other; this disjoint feature permits the accurate and reliable modeling of the sequential transfer of electrons through the turnstile in the...
متن کاملNonadiabatic charge pumping in a hybrid single-electron transistor.
We study theoretically current quantization in the charge turnstile based on the superconductor-normal-metal single-electron transistor. The quantization accuracy is limited by either Andreev reflection or by Cooper-pair-electron cotunneling. The rates of these processes are calculated in the "above-the-threshold" regime when they compete directly with the lowest-order tunneling. By shaping the...
