in this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled inas/gaas quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature. the microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (mbe) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section - long and short axis 2µm×1.5µ...

We explored two methods to obtain laterally ordered Ge/Si quantum dot arrays. For the first we exploit the two independent growth instabilities of the SiGe/Si(001) hetero-system, namely kinetic step bunching and Stranski-Krastanov (SK) island growth, to implement a two-stage growth scheme for the fabrication of long-range ordered SiGe islands. The second approach is to deposit Ge/SiGe onto prep...

A method allowing the fabrication of quantum-dot or photonic crystal loaded bead-shaped hybrid microfiber arrays in a Rayleigh instability driven drop-sliding manner is demonstrated.

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are an emerging technology and a possible alternative for faster speed, smaller size, and low power consumption than semiconductor transistor based technologies. Previously, adder designs based on conventional designs were examined for implementation with QCA technology. This paper utilizes the QCA characteristics to design a fault-tolerant adder that is more...

A general scheme to perform universal, fault-tolerant quantum computation within decoherence-free subspaces (DFSs) is presented. At most two-qubit interactions are required, and the system remains within the DFS throughout the entire implementation of a quantum gate. We show explicitly how to perform universal computation on clusters of the four-qubit DFS encoding one logical qubit each under s...

To fabricate quantum dot arrays with programmable periodicity, functionalized DNA origami nanotubes were developed. Selected DNA staple strands were biotin-labeled to form periodic binding sites for streptavidin-conjugated quantum dots. Successful formation of arrays with periods of 43 and 71 nm demonstrates precise, programmable, large-scale nanoparticle patterning; however, limitations in arr...
