Princeton Researchers Develop Rice Grain-Sized Laser

Princeton University specialists have fabricated a rice-sized laser powered by single electrons channeling through artificial atoms known as quantum dots.

Quantum dot are nanocrystals, which are made of semiconductor materials that are sufficiently small to display quantum mechanical properties.

“The device utilizes around one-billionth of the power required to run a hair dryer and symbolizes a key stride in endeavors to construct quantum-computing frameworks. I consider this to be a truly essential result for our long haul objective, which is entanglement between quantum bits in semiconductor-based devices,” Jacob Taylor, an adjunct assistant professor at the Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland-National Institute of Standards and Technology and one of the scientists, said.

Though, the scientists weren’t attempting to make a mini- maser. A maser is a device that creates coherent electromagnetic waves through amplification by stimulated emission. The scientists needed to investigate the utilization of double quantum dots, joining two dots together to structure qubits. Qubits are the basic units of data in quantum computers.

Scientists expressed that the objective was to get to double quantum dots to communicate with one another. They used very thin nanowires that were made of indium arsenide to build the quantum dots. They put the qubits 6 mm apart in a cavity that was produced using niobium at a temperature close absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit).

They found that the electrons streamed in a solitary file through each dot, which radiated photons in the microwave section of the light spectrum. The photons glanced off mirrors on either side of the cavity, making a ray of microwave light.

“We outlined dots to radiate photons when single electrons bounce from a higher to a lower energy level over the double dot. It is similar to a line of people crossing a wide stream by jumping onto a rock so small that it can just hold one person. They are compelled to cross the stream one at a time. These double quantum dots are zero-dimensional as far as the electrons are concerned – they are caught in all three spatial dimensions,” clarified Jason Petta, an associate professor of physics at Princeton University and pioneer of the study.

A team of Princeton Researchers creates the smallest laser about the size of a rice-grain

Researchers from the Princeton University have created the smallest laser possible. The laser emits microwaves and is termed as Maser. The laser has been developed using Quantum dots, which are a group of artificial atoms or semiconductor like nanocrystal material and are said to exhibit quantum mechanical properties. More specifically they have the quantum tendency of confining the atom’s electrons.

This quantum confinement property allows the energy of the nanocrystals to be measured by employing the particle in a box model, which facilitates the tuning of electrical and optical properties of these nanocrystals. From functional point of view this allows the nanocrystals to absorb lights of certain wavelengths and convert and emit them into lights of different wavelengths.

The team built a double quantum dot micromasar that paired four quantum dots and each pair was separated by a distance of 500 nanometers. Tiny wires were then connected between the dots enabling the unit to function as a transistor unit in which one dot served as a source, while the other operates as a drain or sink and the wires acted as the gate electrodes.

Then this setup was connected to a battery enabling a voltage drop that allowed current to move. This in turn could excite the electrons in the source dot and cause them to move through the wires and into the drain. As the electron flows through the wires, it yields a photon that has the characteristics of a microwave, which is in turn reinforced by other pairs of quantum dots then reflected off of mirrors and together built into a coherent beam of microwave emissions.

The primary objective of this research was not to develop a maser, but in essential to look up at how to use paired quantum dots or qubits. These qubits are the basic units of information in quantum computers.

This research is a very important milestone in the construction of quantum computing systems that are primarily based on semiconductor materials or nanocrystals.
