In this paper, the nonlinear rate equations governing a quantum dot laser isused to simulate the transient as well as the steady-state behaviors of the laser.Computation results show that the rate equations are capable of simulating true behaviorof a quantum dot laser. Then, the pump rates of the rate equations (which show indirectelectrical pumping of the quantum dots through a wetting layer) ...

We introduce an algorithm that is able to find the facets of Coulomb diamonds in quantum dot arrays. simulate these arrays using constant-interaction model, and rely only on one-dimensional raster scans (rays) learn a model device regularized maximum likelihood estimation. This allows us determine, for given charge state device, which transitions exist what compensated gate voltages are. For sm...

Cleaved edge overgrowth and selective area epitaxy were combined for the synthesis of InAs quantum dot (QD) arrays with lateral sizes from 20 to 40 nm. The optical properties were locally assessed by confocal photoluminescence spectroscopy experiments at liquid helium temperature. The emission lines redshift as the lateral size of the QDs is increased. In agreement with a narrow size distributi...

We discuss the fundamental limits of computing using a new paradigm for quantum computation, cellular automata composed of arrays of Coulombically coupled quantum dot molecules, which we term quantum cellular automata (QCA). Any logical or arithmetic operation can be performed in this scheme. QCA’s provide a valuable concrete example of quantum computation in which a number of fundamental issue...

Using an InAs/GaSb composite quantum well, we demonstrate an enhancement mode single electron transistor. With a Hall bar geometry, we show that the device undergoes a transition from accumulation of two-dimensional (2D) holes in GaSb to a complete depletion and finally to an inversion layer of 2D electrons in InAs. When the top-gate area is reduced to nanometer scale, the inversion electrons a...

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

We discuss novel nanoelectronic architecture paradigms based on cells composed of coupled quantum-dots. Boolean logic functions may be implemented in specific arrays of cells representing binary information, the so-called Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA). Cells may also be viewed as carrying analog information and we outline a network-theoretic description of such Quantum-Dot Nonlinear Netwo...
