Research and Markets: Quantum Nanoelectronics - An Introduction to Electronic Nanotechnology and Quantum Computing

DUBLIN, Ireland | Posted on May 13th, 2009

The march of Moore's Law takes electronics to the molecular level, and indeed molecules are likely to be incorporated in future hybrid computer chips. This self-contained text guides students as well as professionals to the new possibilities presenting a treatment of Quantum Computing, a promising new approach which is based on Quantum Mechanics. This essential new title also covers topics which connect to alternative energy technology, for example solar cell design, photocatalytic conversion of water to hydrogen, and high performance batteries.

Key Topics Covered:

Chapter 1 Introduction and Review of Electronic Technology

Chapter 2 From Electronics to Nanoelectronics: particles, waves and Schrodinger Equation

Chapter 3 Quantum Description of atoms and molecules

Chapter 4 Quantum Description of metals, semiconductors, junction devices

Chapter 5 Some newer building blocks for nanoelectronic devices

Chapter 6 Fabrication and Characterization Methods for nanoelectronics

Chapter 7 The field effect transistor FET: size limits and alternative forms

Chapter 8 Devices based on electron tunneling, resonant tunnel diodes

Chapter 9 Single electron transistors, molecular electronics, hybrid electronics

Chapter 10 Devices based on electron spin and ferromagnetism

Chapter 11 Qubits vs. binary bits in a Quantum Computer

Chapter 12 Applications of nanoelectronic technology to energy issues

Chapter 13 Summary and brief comment on the future of nanoelectronic technics
