Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline ...

In silicon, electrons have to emit a photon and a sound vibration (a phonon) at the same time to reach the valence band. Instead, the electron typically finds a way to lose the energy without ...

In a step that brings silicon-based quantum computers closer to reality, researchers at Princeton University have built a device in which a single electron can pass its quantum information to a ...

Electron qubit non-destructively read: Silicon qubits may be better Qubit avoids quantum wrecking ball, silicon may be future for quantum computers.

Appelbaum says that silicon-based spintronics could be easily incorporated into present-day integrated circuits. Also, theory says that electron spins survive for a long time in silicon.

By using Q-silicon, we make use of the spin of the electron, making computers much faster with negligible power consumption. “In short, Q-silicon provides an ideal platform for integration of ...

The two-qubit silicon-based gate consists of two electrons (blue balls with arrows) in a layer of silicon (Si). By applying voltages through aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3) wires (red and green), the ...
