Abstract:

The study of nano-electronic devices is fundamental to the advancement of the semiconductor industry. As electronic devices become increasingly smaller, they will eventually move into a regime where the classical nature of the electrons no longer applies. As the quantum nature of the electrons becomes increasingly important, classical or semiclassical theories and methods will no longer serve their purpose. For example, the simplest non-classical effect that will occur is the tunnelling of electrons through the potential barriers that form wires and transistors. This results in an increase in

Abstract:

The primary research topic is the design of readout circuits for quantum systems at cryogenic temperatures. The work is divided into 3 parts. The first part addresses the modelling of the I-V characteristics of the SiGe HBT over a wide range of temperatures. I empirically prove that the logarithmic slope of the collector current as a function of base-emitter bias is linearly dependent on the y-intercept over the temperature range from 300 K to 6 K. The forward active characteristics at different temperatures can be extrapolated to intersect at a single point. This point is labelled by its tem

We address theoretical questions in quantum nanoelectromechanical systems. These are systems where a mechanical oscillator is coupled to a conductor in which single electrons or the quantum coherence of electrons plays an important role. The interplay of quantum electronics with the motion of a relatively macroscopic object provides a way to probe both the mechanics and the electronics with extraordinary sensitivity. We address three problems based on monitoring either the electronic or mechanical component to measure quantum properties of the coupled system. First, we study the full charge t

Abstract:

The computing power in terms of speed and capacity of today's digital computers has improved tremendously in the last decade. This improvement came mainly due to a revolution in manufacturing technology by developing the ability to manufacture smaller devices and by integrating more devices on a single die. Further development of the current technology will be restricted by physical limits since it won't be possible to shrink devices beyond a certain size. Eventually, classical electrical circuits will encounter the barrier of quantum mechanics. The laws of quantum mechanics can be used for bu

High power fibre lasers with efficient amplification of optical signals have been widely used for various applications for many years. A great advantage of fibres is their thermal properties, which are so good that fibres are often quoted as being immune to thermal degradation. However, powers keep increasing and the fibre geometry is becoming more similar to their “bulk” (non-waveguiding) counterparts. Thermal problems are severe in bulk lasers, and are, unsurprisingly, becoming more important also for fibres. Heating is inevitable in the laser cycle due to the energy difference(quantum defec

Abstract:

The author of this thesis concentrates his attention on quantum optical properties of some artificial electromagnetic media, such as quantum coherent atomic vapors (various multilevel electromagnetically induced transparency vapors) and negative refractive index materials, and suggests some possible ways to manipulate wave propagations inside the artificial electromagnetic materials based on quantum coherence and quantum vacuum effects. In Chapters 1 and 2, the author reviews the previous papers on quantum coherence as well as the relevant work such as electromagnetically induced transparency
