Towards Quantum Computing: A Hybrid Approach That Will Unleash a Plethora of New QD Nanostructures, Bringing Us a Step Further to Laterally Coupled QDs
نویسنده
چکیده
While the properties of individual quantum dots (QDs) are deemed attractive for applications in quantum computing, practically, they are insufficient. However, being able to group QDs to enable communication among them (quantum dot molecules—QDMs) is still extremely challenging although this field has been studied for about 20 years. Therefore, in an attempt to control the lateral ordering of QDs, researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a simple hybrid technique to fabricate QD pairs (QDPs) and QDMs. This technique has shown promise and paves the way for investigating possible interactions between QDs, taking us one step further to realizing quantum computing.

Self-assembled InAs quantum dot formation on GaAs ring-like nanostructure templates
The evolution of InAs quantum dot (QD) formation is studied on GaAs ring-like nanostructures fabricated by droplet homo-epitaxy. This growth mode, exclusively performed by a hybrid approach of droplet homo-epitaxy and Stransky-Krastanor (S-K) based QD self-assembly, enables one to form new QD morphologies that may find use in optoelectronic applications. Increased deposition of InAs on the GaAs...
متن کاملOptimization of Thermalisation Loss in the Quantum Dot Solar Cells using a Finite Element Method
As thermalisation loss is the dominant loss process in the quantum dot intermediate band solar cells (QD-IBSCs), it has been investigated and calculated for a QD-IBSC, where IB is created by embedding a stack of InAs(1-x) Nx QDs with a square pyramid shape in the intrinsic layer of the AlPySb(1-y) p-i-n structure. IB, which is an optically coupled but electrically isolated mini-band, divides th...
متن کاملSemiconductor Quantum Dot Nanostructures and their Roles in the Future of Photonics
This paper discusses the growth and the properties of semiconductor nanostructures based on self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). These QDs confine electrons or excitons in zero-dimension (0D), similar to an artificial atom or to an artificial molecule in the case of coupled QDs with vertical alignment. They are obtained in a simple step during the epitaxy of strained III-V semiconductors such as ...
متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
متن کاملA new quadratic deviation of fuzzy random variable and its application to portfolio optimization
The aim of this paper is to propose a convex risk measure in the framework of fuzzy random theory and verify its advantage over the conventional variance approach. For this purpose, this paper defines the quadratic deviation (QD) of fuzzy random variable as the mathematical expectation of QDs of fuzzy variables. As a result, the new risk criterion essentially describes the variation of a fuzzy ...
