Description
- Quantum dots or single electron transistors, allow for individual control of single charge or spin. In addition, some semiconductor monolayers possess a sizeable direct bandgap of ≈1.5–2 eV in the optical range allowing electrostatic confinement and optical manipulation of carriers. Therefore, we try to adopt the method of this theoretical paper[1], and see if we can control single qubit or couple 2 qubits optically.
Q & A
What are K & K' points?
- K-points are sampling points of Brillouin zone in reciprocal lattice
Choose monolayer TMDCs materials or 2D heterostructure?
- There are four main carrier properties that optimal Opto-valleytronics should possess.
- long carrier lifetime
- long valley lifetime
- high valley polarization
- long valley coherence time
- By adopting 2D heterostructure TMDCs materials, we can create these conditions for building promising quantum platform. (eg. Due to the type II band alignment and weak hybridization of van der Waals heterostructure, the electron–hole layer separation, the electron–hole exchange interaction is greatly reduced, resulting in a long cryogenic lifetime (ns to s)and valley lifetime (~ 10 ns) of the interlayer exciton[2])

- We intend to use WSe2 2D heterostructure encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as the physical platform, and ...
