Spin Qubits in Silicon and Germanium

Quantum computers based on semiconductor quantum dots are proving promising contenders for large scale quantum information processing. In particular, group IV based semiconductor hosts containing an abundance of nuclear spin-zero isotopes have made considerable headway into fulfilling the requirements of a universal quantum computer. Silicon (Si...

DIrect Sunlight into CO conversion

In this abstract an overview is presented of research performed in the DISCO project, on the development of a silicon-based high voltage multijunction device for autonomous solar to fuel applications.'

Enhanced terahertz emission from thin film semiconductor/metal interfaces

Terahertz light is electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. The photons that the terahertz light is comprised of carry a much smaller amount of energy compared to the visible light photons. Unlike visible light, terahertz light can pass through materials like plastic, cardboards, wood etc.; a very useful property which enables it to...
