Microwave spectroscopy of a quantum-dot molecule
Article Abstract:
Semiconductors have small conductive regions that are called quantum dots, and they contain between one and a thousand electrons occupying quantum states that are discrete and well-defined. This is why they can be called artificial atoms. They can be connected to voltage and current contacts and this permits the investigation of the discrete energy spectra using charge-transport measurements. Controllable quantum coherence can be shown in single-electron devices, and this is necessary in order to derive practical applications from quantum-dot circuitry.

Single-shot read-out of an individual electron spin in a quantum dot
Article Abstract:
The electrical single-shot measurement of the state of an individual electron spin in a semi-conductor quantum lot is demonstrated. It is reported that all elementary particles possess a basic property of spin.
