Single-particle quantum tunneling in ionic traps
We describe a proposal to probe the quantum tunneling mechanism of an individual ion trapped in a double-well electromagnetic potential. The time-evolution of the probability of fluorescence measurement of the electronic ground state is employed to characterize the single-particle tunneling mechanism. The proposed scheme can be used to implement quantum information devices.
متن کاملWhy macroscopic quantum tunnelling in Josephson junctions differs from tunnelling of a quantum particle
We show that the macroscopic quantum tunnelling of a fluxon in a Josephson junction cannot be described, even qualitatively, as the tunnelling of a quantum particle in a potential U(φ), where the phase difference φ plays the role of particle position, if the length of the junction d exceeds a fluxon length. We calculate the probability per unit time of tunnelling (or escape rate), Γ, which has ...
متن کاملHolding forces of single-particle dielectrophoretic traps.
We present experimental results and modeling on the efficacy of dielectrophoresis-based single-particle traps. Dielectrophoretic forces, caused by the interaction of nonuniform electric fields with objects, have been used to make planar quadrupole traps that can trap single beads. A simple experimental protocol was then used to measure how well the traps could hold beads against destabilizing f...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic traps for single-particle patterning.
We present a novel microfabricated dielectrophoretic trap designed to pattern large arrays of single cells. Because flowing away untrapped cells is often the rate-limiting step during cell patterning, we designed the trap to be strong enough to hold particles against practical flow rates. We experimentally validated the trap strength by measuring the maximum flow rate that polystyrene beads cou...
متن کاملTunnelling in quantum superlattices with variable lacunarity
Quantum fractal superlattices are microelectronic devices consisting of a series of thin layers of two semiconductor materials deposited alternately on each other over a substrate following the rules of construction of a fractal set, here, a symmetrical polyadic Cantor fractal. The scattering properties of electrons in these superlattices may be modeled by using that of quantum particles in pie...
