Proposed schemes of quantum information and computation utilise the spin of the electron either singly or in the form of double/triple quantum dots with more complex spin textures. Single, Double and Triple Quantum Dots can act as qubits in quantum information schemes and the resistance of an adjacent quantum wire is sensitive to electron distribution nearby and so can act as a readout mechanism of the spin configuration such as singlet, triplet and a more general spin state. This will allow Qubits and a Quantum Information scheme to be developed in parallel with the strong electron-electron interaction in the wire which leads to electrons pairing. The operating limits such as temperature, geometry and factors affecting the spin polarization will be investigated and calculated. For example, as the temperature is raised, or the carrier concentration in the wire is lowered, the spin direction becomes increasingly ill-defined and the incoherent regime is reached. The project will involve compound device fabrication and measurements at UCL and collaboration with Hitachi Europe based in Cambridge which has an interest in the project and will provide advice as well as a Placement for the student.

所提出的量子信息和计算方案利用电子的自旋，无论是单独的还是具有更复杂自旋纹理的双/三量子点的形式。单量子点、双量子点和三量子点可以在量子信息方案中充当量子比特，并且相邻量子线的电阻对附近的电子分布敏感，因此可以充当自旋配置（诸如单线态、三线态和更一般的自旋状态）的读出机制。这将允许量子比特和量子信息方案与导线中导致电子配对的强电子-电子相互作用并行开发。将研究和计算操作限制，如温度，几何形状和影响自旋极化的因素。例如，随着温度升高或导线中的载流子浓度降低，自旋方向变得越来越不明确，并达到非相干状态。该项目将涉及在UCL的复合器件制造和测量，以及与剑桥的日立欧洲公司的合作，日立欧洲公司对该项目感兴趣，并将为学生提供建议和安置。
