The objective of the proposed work was to demonstrate that digital switching of the exchange interaction by real space electron transfer will provide a viable method for accurate control of inter-qubit interactions. In order to fix the strength of the exchange interaction at the fabrication stage we proposed a new technology for 3D confinement of electrons by abrupt epitaxial Si/SiGe interface. During the course of the project we developed CVD ...
This project had two exploratory goals. The first is the investigation the effect of radiation on the deformability of blood cells, as detected by novel microfluidic chips. The long-term goal would be to have a rapid low-cost method to screen people for exposure to radiation. For this project we have developed chips to measure deformability of both red and white blood cells in human blood, and observed an effect from ...
