Quantum devices: engineering electronic coherence in nanostructures

我们的团队构建和测量纳米级电子器件，其几何形状旨在从传输（电阻）测量中产生新的物理学。 我们的实验是在低温下进行的-通常小于1开尔文-其中电子特性由相干量子力学效应主导。在这个极限下，从实验室设备发送到被测设备的信号提供了对量子力学自由度的原位控制。我们提出了一个三管齐下的方法，我们的研究在未来5年。第一个是建立在我们过去5年最成功的一组实验基础上的;第二个是继续我们小组向凝聚态物理学中最热门的新领域之一的扩展;第三个是利用我们小组的独特地位进入一个新的方向，具有巨大的潜在回报：

Our group builds and measures nanoscale electronic devices whose geometries are designed to yield new physics from a transport (resistance) measurement. Our experiments are performed at low temperature--typically less than 1 Kelvin--where electronic properties are dominated by coherent quantum mechanical effects. In this limit, signals sent from laboratory equipment to the device under test provide in situ control over quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. We propose a three-pronged approach to our research in the coming 5 years. The first builds off of our most successful set of experiments from the past 5 years; the second continues our group's expansion into one of the hottest new fields in condensed matter physics; the third takes advantage of our group's unique position to move into a new direction with great potential payoff:
