(author)The catalyst-assisted growth of semiconductor nanowires heterostructures offers a very flexible way to design and fabricate single photon emitters. The nanowires can be positioned by organizing the catalyst prior to growth. Single quantum dots can be formed in the core of single nanowires which can then be easily isolated and addressed to...conference paper 2009

Van Rijs, Samantha (author), Ercan, İlke (author), Vladimirescu, A. (author), Sebastiano, F. (author)Quantum computers process information stored in quantum bits (qubits), which must be controlled and read out by a traditional electronic interface. Co-designing and cooptimizing such a quantum-classical complex system requires efficient simulators to emulate the qubits and their interaction with classical electronics. For spin-qubit readout,...conference paper 2023

Boehme, S.C. (author)This study reports on fundamental processes in Quantum-Dot Solids, after light absorption. Transient Absorption and Time-resolved Photoluminescence spectrocopy reveal the dynamics of charge transfer and charge trapping processes. Typically, both occur on a picosecond time scale and compete with each other. We find that the efficiency of these...doctoral thesis 2015

Heersche, H.B. (author)As a result of progress in nanotechnology, smaller and smaller electronic circuits can be made. The stage of electrically contacting even a single molecule has now been reached. This stimulates both fundamental and applied research alike. Molecular electronics is hence a booming new field that draws a lot of attention. In this research project...doctoral thesis 2006

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...doctoral thesis 2010
