Majorana fermions are exotic elementary particles predicted in 1937 by Ettore Majorana. Although heavily searched for, they have never been found in nature up to date. In the past decades, with the progress in theory, theoretical physicists predicted that Majorana fermions might emerge in certain exotic classes of condensed matter systems, where...

Beukman, A.J.A. (author)
This thesis includes two research directions both aim to discover a building block for topological quantum computing. First, in Chapter 3, a novel setup is designed, built, and tested, that can electrostatically gate a material without endangering the materials pristine quality. The setup was designed with the goal to reveal non-Abelian...

In the future world of quantum communication and computing, infomation cannot be hacked and computers solve difficult problems, such as factorizing large number or searching in a large databases, much faster than possible with ordinary computers. However, to realize such systems still much research is needed. One of the systems that has gained a...

Ristè, D. (author)
Superconducting circuits have recently risen to the forefront of the solid-state prototypes for quantum computing. Reaching the stage of robust quantum computing requires closing the loop between measurement and control of quantum bits (qubits). This thesis presents the realization of feedback control of superconducting qubits based on...

Van Weperen, I. (author)
Recently ideas to engineer Majorana fermions in the solid state have been developed. These Majoranas, quasiparticles that are their own antiparticle, have received much attention, as they are expected to fulfill non-Abelian exchange statistics and could potentially function as fault-tolerant quantum bits. This thesis focuses on a Majorana host...

Bulgarini, G. (author)
In this thesis work, I studied individual quantum dots embedded in one-dimensional nanostructures called nanowires. Amongst the effects given by the nanometric dimensions, quantum dots enable the generation of single light particles: photons. Single photon emitters and detectors are central building blocks of future communication technologies....

Pfaff, W. (author)
This thesis presents a set of experiments that explore the possible realisation of a macroscopic quantum network based on solid-state quantum bits. Such a quantum network would allow for studying quantum mechanics on large scales (meters, or even kilometers), and can open new possibilities for applications in quantum information processing. A...

Heeres, R.W. (author)
This thesis describes experiments with surface plasmons: light confined to metal-dielectric interfaces. By using metals it is possible to make extremely small waveguides for light, even below the diffraction limit of dielectric structures. We study the quantum aspects of single plasmons in particular. To this end we create small circuits of gold...

De Lange, G. (author)
The field of quantum science and technology has generated many ideas for new revolutionary devices that exploit the quantum mechanical properties of small-scale systems. Isolated solid state spins play a large role in quantum technologies. They can be used as basic building blocks for a quantum computer or as ultra-sensitive magnetic-field...

Van der Sar, T. (author)
This thesis describes a series of experiments on the control of the optical properties of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, and on control of the electron and nuclear spin states associated with the NV center. The NV center is a fluorescing atomic defect center in diamond, consisting of a substitutional nitrogen atom adjacent to a...

Dorenbos, S.N. (author)
This thesis is about the development of a detector for single photons, particles of light. New techniques are being developed that require high performance single photon detection, such as quantum cryptography, single molecule detection, optical radar, ballistic imaging, circuit testing and fluorescence spectroscopy. Superconducting single...

Perinetti, U. (author)
This thesis presents different optical experiments performed on semiconductor quantum dots. These structures allow to confine a small number of electrons and holes to a tiny region of space, some nm across. The aim of this work was to study the basic properties of different types of quantum dots made of various materials and with different...

Van Tilburg, J.W.W. (author)
For small magnetic memories, the ultimate limit is a single magnetic particle, a single electron spin. A lot of research is put in developing devices that can utilize such a single spin memory. At the same time, there is also interest from a more fundamental point of view: on these small scales, Quantum Mechanics starts to play a role. Devices...

We experimentally investigate Quantum Dots, formed in Carbon Nanotubes. The first part of this thesis deals with charge sensing on such quantum dots. The charge sensor is a metallic Single-electron-transistor, sensitive to the charge of a single electron on the quantum dot. We use this technique for real-time charge readout and precise tuning of...
