- Additional information
- This publication, from an international collaboration involving Germany, Russia and UK, demonstrated and explained a fifty times increase in photon drag photocurrent in InSb/AlInSb quantum wells under cyclotron resonance conditions. It resulted in a new concept for a purely electronic route for quantum information processing that will not require any external sources or fields for initialization, manipulation or readout, and has potential to operate at substantially higher temperatures. It should be scalable and manufacturable using conventional electronic industry techniques, thus offering the vision of ubiquitous quantum information processing. Further research, in collaboration with a world-leading electronics manufacturer, will determine feasibility.
