Special Issue on Quantum Dot Research
Quantum dot is a very active research area, and is one of the most promising approaches which might lead to the realization of practical quantum computers. Quantum dots provide semiconductor-based implementation for qubits, i.e., computing unit for quantum computer. More interestingly, quantum dots also have significant applications perspective such as lasers, solar cells, transistors, LEDs, waveguide amplifiers, luminescent markers, etc. Numereous papers have been published, and a considerable number of patents have been filed related to the optical application of quantum dots. The potential industrial and commercialized applications of quantum dot have drawn lots of attention from researchers in the industrial sectors of information and communications technology, health and medical care, environment, safety & security, etc. There are different ways to generate quantum dots based on the corresponding method of quantum confinement.
The issue on “Quantum Dot Research” will focus on both theoretical and experimental research frontiers. Topics covered include but not limited to:
l quantum dot
l quantum well
