Researchers from the National Institute for Nanotechnology and the University of Alberta have created single atom quantum dots that are able to control individual electrons. The quantum dot was developed using a single atom of silicon, measuring less than one ...

The “Quantum Photonics Group” researchers at ETH Zurich, Switzerland have created superimposed quantum dots, which are able to ‘trap’ single electrons. Created using a semiconductor material, energy in these dots can be influenced by lasers. The researchers were successful in ...
