Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
We wish to generate a new type of quantum bit (qubit) based on mechanical quantum vibrations. Such a qubit would help solve many difficult problems such as developing effective new medicines or new energy efficient materials. To make our new qubit we make use of the quantum vibrations of a carbon nanotube — a nano-material made only of carbon atoms. We generate the qubit by interacting the vibrations with a few individual electrons that we trap in very specific locations along the nanotube.
