Condensed Matter Seminar Series
Title: Quantum Dots as Qubits
Charles Marcus
Harvard University
Thursday October 2, 1h30 pm, Room 234, Physics Building
Host: Harold Baranger
Abstract:
This talk will present some background on electron transport in
mesoscopic quantum dots, and examine some proposed schemes for
implementing qubits using the spin degree of freedom. Devices made
from both gate defined GaAs heterostructures and carbon nanotubes
will be discussed. The talk will not aim to "make the case" for
quantum dots, but rather will hopefully help identify opportunities
and challenges with this approach.
