The Westervelt Group has three areas of focus:
(i) Imaging the coherent flow of electrons inside semiconductor nanostructures at low temperatures using scanning probe microscopy
(ii) Studies of tunnel-coupled quantum dots and the fabrication of artificial molecules composed of few-electron quantum dots to implement qubits for quantum information processing
(iii) Development of micro-electromagnets to trap, move, and assemble particles


Please follow the links on the left for further information.







Group meetings are held every Wednesday at 10:30AM (unless otherwise noted).
In addition, we encourage everyone to have lunch together every day at 1PM.
