Engineering Ultra-low Disorder Semiconductor Quantum Nanostructures

在过去的25年里，我们见证了价值数万亿美元的半导体行业推动着信息技术的爆炸式增长。该提案将通过开发一类新的超低无序“量子点晶体管”来实现重大突破，这将有利于澳大利亚在半导体纳米技术和量子信息科学方面的持续努力，使我们能够在纳米尺度和量子电子学的未来发展中发挥作用。该研究计划将汇集澳大利亚研究人员和学生，与美国和新西兰的领先国际大学以及日本领先的工业研究机构-日本电报和电信合作。

The multi-trillion dollar semiconductor industry drives the explosive growth in information technology that we have witnessed over the past 25 years. This proposal will provide a significant breakthrough by develop a new class of ultra low disorder 'quantum dot transistors' that will be of benefit to Australia's ongoing efforts in semiconductor nanotechnology and quantum information science, allowing us to play a role in the future development of nanoscale and quantum electronics. This research program will bring together Australian researchers and students to work with leading international universities in the USA and New Zealand, and a leading Japanese industrial research facility - Nippon Telegraph and Telecommunications.
