Funded Activity Summary
Hole quantum dots - a new spin on quantum information technology. Most electronic devices are powered by conventional transistors that use a 50 year old technology which is nearing the end of its lifetime. Spin-based electronics uses the electron's spin instead of its charge to store, process and transfer information. Although half of all transistors on a chip use holes, almost all research has focussed on electrons. Holes have completely different spin properties than electrons and are predicted to have significant advantages for spin based quantum information processing. This project aims to develop single hole quantum dots, test theoretical predictions of the superiority of holes over electrons and develop new techniques for all-electrical spin manipulation.Funded Activity Details
