Download or read book Numerical Methods for Time-Resolved Quantum Nanoelectronics written by Joseph Weston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops novel numerical techniques for simulating quantum transport in the time domain and applies them to pertinent physical systems such as flying qubits in electronic interferometers and superconductor/semiconductor junctions hosting Majorana bound states (the key ingredient for topological quantum computing). In addition to exploring the rich new physics brought about by time dependence, the thesis also develops software that can be used to simulate nanoelectronic systems with arbitrary geometry and time dependence, offering a veritable toolbox for exploring this rapidly growing domain.
