Description
I will describe the developing experimental tools of atomically controlled defect implantation in semiconductors using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) lithography and how the resulting nanostructures can be used to implement a range of controlled quantum systems within the material. I will cover applications both in quantum computation (including the initialization and readout of qubits and the implementation of universal sets of unitary gates) and in the realization/simulation of archetypal models in condensed matter physics (including disordered quantum transport, the Mott transition, and topologically non-trivial insulators in one and two dimensions). I will compare this dopant-based toolbox with other techniques and give some outlooks for future development.
