Quantum-mechanical phenomena such as quantum coherence, interference, nonlocality, and entanglement can be exploited to build new electronic devices and systems that differ fundamentally from current ones. Achieving these advances requires fundamental advances in a variety of disciplines as well as close interdisciplinary collaboration. This talk will discuss how close cooperation between researchers in different disciplines has enabled substantial new progress in the development of quantum dots in silicon/silicon-germanium heterostructures for quantum computing applications.
