ABSTRACT* :
Quantum nano-structures are likely to become primary components of future electronic devices. Practical realization of quantum devices faces a number of challenges. These problems include phase relaxation (decoherence) that erodes operation of a quantum device as well as the problems of control, such as manipulation and measurement of the quantum states in a device. However, the benefits from the successful implementation of these devices can be enormous. In our work we aim to understand the relations between the environment and the nano system and create a controlled system for room temperature quantum device operation. Our study is exploiting a novel developed simple and cheep self assembled "nano-toolbox" that includes semiconductor narrow band nanocrystals, metal nano-particles and organic molecules that link the nanocrystals to a substrate. These will couples to their substrate by organic molecules that will serve as efficient controlled couplers.
This methodology is producing a generic technology for constructing nano-systems based sensors in which the hybrid layers are interconnected and operate in unison, without inhibiting their quantum nature while coupled and packaged similar to a classical reading device.
In preliminary work we were able to control the confinement potential using different dots systems as well as charge and spin transfer control in our hybrid dots systems [1-3]. We have realized and measured a hybrid quantum sensor operating at room temperatures using a standard field effect transistor with light-sensitive gate formed by nanocrystals linked by organic molecules to its surface [4]. Moreover, we have discovered a 300K collective electron transfer through the hybrid layer by studying the current noise in such a device [5].
We are confident that the simple assembly procedure which allows the use of known packaging will open the use of an hybrid classical quantum nano devices.
