Testing Bell’s Inequality with Ballistic Electrons in Semiconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an experiment to test Bell’s inequality violation in condensed-matter physics. We show how to generate, manipulate and detect entangled states using ballistic electrons in Coulomb-coupled semiconductor quantum wires. Due to its simplicity (only five gates are required to prepare entangled states and to test Bell’s inequality), the proposed semiconductor-based scheme can be implemented with currently available technology. Moreover, its basic ingredients may play a role towards large-scale quantum-information processing in solid-state devices.

Quantum Information Processing and Entanglement in Solid State Devices
Control over electron-spin states, such as coherent manipulation, filtering and measurement promises access to new technologies in conventional as well as in quantum computation and quantum communication. In this paper, we review recent theoretical proposal of using electron spins in quantum confined structures as qubits. We also present a theoretical proposal for testing Bell’s inequality in n...
متن کاملRoom-temperature ballistic transport in III-nitride heterostructures.
Room-temperature (RT) ballistic transport of electrons is experimentally observed and theoretically investigated in III-nitrides. This has been largely investigated at low temperatures in low band gap III-V materials due to their high electron mobilities. However, their application to RT ballistic devices is limited by their low optical phonon energies, close to KT at 300 K. In addition, the sh...
متن کاملQuantum interference control of ballistic pure spin currents in semiconductors.
We demonstrate all-optical quantum interference injection and control of a ballistic pure spin current (without an accompanying charge current) in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells, consisting of spin-up electrons traveling in one direction and spin-down electrons traveling in the opposite direction. This current is generated through quantum interference of one- and two-photon absorption of approximate...
متن کاملMetamaterials for Ballistic Electrons
The paper presents a metamaterial for ballistic electrons, which consists of a quantum barrier formed in a semiconductor with negative effective electron mass. This barrier is the analogue of a metamaterial for electromagnetic waves in media with negative electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability. Besides applications similar to those of optical metamaterials, a nanosized slab of a meta...
متن کاملColossal Seebeck effect enhanced by quasi-ballistic phonons dragging massive electrons in FeSb2
Phonon transport is an essential property of thermoelectric materials. Although the phonon carries heat, which reduces the thermoelectric efficiency, it contributes positively to the Seebeck coefficient S through the phonon-drag effect, as typified by the high-purity semiconductors, which show fairly large S at cryogenic temperatures. Although such a large S is attractive in terms of Peltier co...
