How Do Schr\"odinger's Cats Die?

2008

Recent experiments with superconducting qubits are motivated by the goal of fabricating a quantum computer, but at the same time they illuminate the more fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. In this paper we analyze the physics of switching current measurements from the point of view of macroscopic quantum mechanics.

Suspended single-electron transistors: Fabrication and measurement

2005

We have fabricated aluminum single-electron transistors in which the island is not in contact with the substrate. This new type of device, which can be called suspended single-electron transistor (SUSET), displayed well-defined I-V and dI/dV-V features typical for high-quality standard SET's.
