Electron Dynamics in the Quantum Limit

Why electron dynamics? When dimensions or time scales are reduced sufficently, quantum effects start to dominate most of the physics, which can lead to interesting applications such as quantum computing or molecular electronics. While we haven't built a quantum computer yet, we will present a few results obtained in the regime of sub-nanoseconds at the nanometer scale.
