Superconducting silicon nanodevices

该项目将研究具有p型和n型导电性的硅纳米线器件的超导性。它建立在墨尔本大学最近的超导纳米线器件的演示基础上，其长度尺度适用于实现广泛的超导器件结构，并利用标准的半导体工业工艺。该项目将为硅超导器件开发创造一个新的平台，有潜力为量子信息技术应用构建具有新功能和改进性能的器件，提高澳大利亚在量子信息科学方面的全球声誉，并协助这一高附加值领域的新兴产业。

This project will investigate superconductivity in silicon nanowire devices exhibiting both p-type and n-type conductivity. It builds on the recent demonstration at the University of Melbourne of superconductivity in nanowire devices at length-scales suitable for realisation of a broad range of superconducting device structures and utilises standard semiconductor-industry processes. This project will create a new platform for superconducting device development in silicon with potential for building devices with new functionality and improved performance for applications in quantum information technologies, enhancing Australia’s global reputation in quantum information science and assisting emerging industries in this high-valued added area.
