Quantum dots (QDs) that are separated from each other by a small potential barrier can be connected by quantum tunneling. The electrons that tunnel between thes

A quantum dot molecule (QDM) is composed of two or more closely spaced quantum dots or “artificial atoms.” In recent years, QDMs have received much attentio

A quantum dot is a particle of matter so small that the addition or removal of an electron changes its properties in some useful way. All atoms are quantum dots
