Abstract—Using the quantum kinetic equation for electrons interacting with acoustic phonon, the density of the constant current associated with the drag of charge carriers in cylindrical quantum wire by a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave, a DC electric field and a laser radiation field is calculated. The density of the constant current is studied as a function of the frequency of electro...

By introducing a boundary condition for the quantum wire, the Hubbard model is solved exactly by means of the Bethe ansatz. The wave function for the bounded state is clearly defined, and the secular equation for the spectrum is exactly obtained. The ground state and low-lying excited states are studied in the thermodynamic limit. The ground-state energy in the strong coupling limit is obtained...

An all optical implementation of quantum information processing with semiconductor macroatoms is proposed. Our quantum hardware consists of an array of quantum dots and the computational degrees of freedom are energy-selected interband optical transitions. The quantum-computing strategy exploits exciton-exciton interactions driven by ultrafast multicolor laser pulses. Contrary to existing propo...

In this paper we present a mode-matching technique to study the transmission coefficient of mesoscopic devices such as electron waveguides in the presence of high magnetic fields for different situations. A detailed study of the difficulties rising due to the presence of the magnetic field is given and the differences with the zero magnetic field case are stressed. We apply this technique to ca...

By viewing current in the detecting lead of a spintronic device as being an ensemble of flowing spins corresponding to a mixed quantum state, where each spin itself is generally described by an improper mixture generated during the transport where it couples to other degrees of freedom due to spin-orbit sSOd interactions or inhomogeneous magnetic fields, we introduce the spin-density operator a...

Worldwide, enormous efforts are directed toward the development of so-called quantum internet. Turning this long-sought-after dream into reality is a great challenge that will require breakthroughs in communication and computing. To establish global, quantum-secured infrastructure, photonic technologies doubtlessly play major role, by providing interfacing essential resources, for example, flyi...

Please cite this article in press as: Clauberg H j.microrel.2010.05.001 The semiconductor packaging industry is undergoing a step-change transition from gold to copper wire bonding brought on by a quadrupling of gold cost over the last 8 years. The transition has been exceptionally rapid over the last 3 years and virtually all companies in the industry now have significant copper wire bonding p...
