Abstract
We review our recent work on quantum-dot devices with carbon nanotubes. We conclude that the single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dot is an artificial atom with two- or four-electron shell structures. Zeeman splitting of single particle levels was observed, which is advantageous for the spin based quantum computing device (spin qubit) because the single spin is generated by putting one electron in the shell. Single-electron devices such as single-electron inverter and single-electron exclusive-OR gates have been fabricated, and their performance has been demonstrated at liquid-helium temperature. Despite the expected room-temperature operation from the single-electron charging energy, the operation temperature of our devices was limited to ∼10K because of the low height of the tunnel barrier.
