Figure 2: Single-electron transfer reliability. a , Example of bidirectional electron transfer. An electron is transferred between the quantum dots 35 times before getting trapped in the channel (T).

Excitons have been created by injecting an electron into a molecule, and then removing another one, in rapid succession.

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 ...

It's a step toward controlled single-electron transfer for use in quantum computer electronic circuits. Sophie Bushwick reports. Skip to main content. Scientific American. September 27, 2011.

By means of this "random-walk benchmark," the transfer of individual electrons was investigated in a circuit consisting of single-electron pumps developed at PTB as primary standards for realizing ...

Because quantum dots can communicate through the entanglement of light particles, or photons, the researchers designed dots that emit photons when single electrons leap from a higher energy level to a ...

While single electron spins are insufficient to build quantum devices, this experiment is a reasonable proof-of-principle, and shows how multi-spin systems could be developed.

Thanks to previous work in their lab, the researchers had already succeeded in using an AFM to measure different charge states on top of an ultrathin insulator – with single-electron sensitivity. They ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of ...

A novel electroenzymatic system integrates ferrocene methanol-mediated anodic oxidation with ThDP-dependent enzyme catalysis, enabling efficient, non-natural single-electron oxidation of α ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...
