Semiconductor-based implementations of quantum information devices (SQID)

Basic data for this project

Description

Goal of the present project is the investigation of semiconductor-based implementation of Quantum Information processing devices. Our interest is directed towards a specific class of novel nanostructures: single and coupled semiconductor QDots. The possibility of a large-scale integration for these structures makes them ideal candidates for the practical solid-state implementation of massive quantum computation. A clear strategy for their implementation as potential quantum-computing devices is still lacking. The proposed research action is of strategic importance since it constitutes the prerequisite for a large-scale integration of quantum-information devices, which is believed to be the "real" technological revolution in the field of quantum computation/information.
