  2. 1. Noise Properties of the Single Electron Transistor

    Author : Serguei Kafanov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Low-Frequency noise; Shot Noise; 1 f noise; Single Electron Transistor; charge sensitivity; SET; electrometer; Coulomb blockade; radio-frequency Single Electron Transistor; RF-SET;

    Abstract : The Single Electron Transistor (SET) is a sensitive electrometer with a charge sensitivityultimately limited by noise. In this thesis we present measurements of noiseproperties and charge sensitivity of the radio-frequency Single Electron Transistor. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of acoustic waves, noise and charge pumping using single-electron devices

    Author : Martin Gustafsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-electron pump; single-electron transistor; surface acoustic wave; single-electron devices; charge pumping; TLF; SINIS turnstile; electrometer; two-level fluctuator; single-photon detector; noise; SAW; SET;

    Abstract : This thesis covers a range of experiments on single-electron devices, electrical circuits that utilize the discreetness of the electron charge. The Single-Electron Transistor (SET) is of special importance among these, being the most sensitive electrometer demonstrated, and sufficiently mature to serve as a building block in sensors and detectors for physical phenomena that can be transformed into charge signals.

  5. 3. The Radio Frequency Single-Electron Transistor and the Horizon Picture for Tunneling

    Author : Peter Wahlgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The main part of this thesis concerns the development of a new type of single electron transistor (SET) called the radio frequency single electron transistor (RF-SET). The RF-SET is the most sensitive electrometer demonstrated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantum Coherence in the Single Cooper Pair Box

    Author : Kevin Bladh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coherent oscillations; single Cooper pair box; quantum coherence; radio frequency single electron transistor; cryogenic filters;

    Abstract : This thesis presents measurements of quantum coherence in a single Cooper pair box, where quantum oscillations of charge between a reservoir and a small superconducting island have been observed. The single Cooper pair box (SCB) consists of a small metallic island which is connected to a reservoir via a tunnel junction. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Single Cooper Pair Box - a Quantum-Mechanical Electronic Circuit

    Author : David Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum capacitance; quantum computing; single Cooper-pair box; SET; radio-frequency single-electron-transistor; macroscopic quantum coherence; Qubit;

    Abstract : In this thesis the single Cooper pair box (SCB) is investigated with a radio frequency single electron transistor (RF-SET). The RF-SET is used as an electrometer to detect the charge of the SCB. The SCB can be regarded as a quantum two-level system and could therefore be a possible qubit. READ MORE
