IN PERSON at Leibniz Rechenzentrum, Boltzmannstraße 1, 85748 Garching b. München
Abstract:
The progress of charge manipulation in semiconductor-based nanoscale devices opened up a novel route to realize a flying qubit with a single electron. In this talk we introduce the concept of these electron flying qubits, discuss their most promising realizations and show how numerical simulations are applicable to accelerate experimental development cycles.
