SUMMARY:Playing ping-pong with single electrons - Professor Chris Ford\, C
 avendish Laboratory

DESCRIPTION:Semiconductor fabrication techniques allow researchers to make
  devices containing just a single electron\, resembling an artificial atom
 \, with quantised energy levels\, but with far more control than in a real
  atom. The long-term goal is to make a quantum computer using a set of the
 se "quantum dots"\, each holding a quantum bit of information ("qubit"). I
  will introduce these topics and will describe our work on transferring si
 ngle electrons between dots using sound waves travelling along a surface. 
 I will also present our recent work on generating single photons from thes
 e single electrons.
