10421 Cryogenic Quantum Electronics Danish title: Kryogen kvante-elektronik Language: English Credit points: 5 Type:  Open University Language: English Prerequisite: 10203 Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester Examination: Oral exam (13-scale) Contact person:  Jørn Bindslev Hansen, Building 309, Tel. +45 4525 3242, email jbh@fysik.dtu.dk Jesper Mygind, Building 309, Tel. +45 4525 3268, email myg@fysik.dtu.dk, http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/~myg URL: http://info.fysik.dtu.dk/~jbh Department: Department of Physics Aim: The course gives the student a knowledge and an understanding, theoretically as well as experimeltally, of the electric and magnetic proporties of devices and circuits which exhibit quantum behaviour at low temperature. The course intends to give the student a fundamental knowledge which will remain relevant also for the next generations of new electronics. Contents: Tunneling phenomena, localization, ballistic transport, CDW-systems (Charge-Density-Wave), Josephson junctions, Coulomb blockade, single electron phenomena, SETs (Single-Electron-Transitor), quantum-Hall effects, FETs, hybrid semiconductor-superconductor devices, noise, makroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT).
