UT Dallas establishes a new research center

The proposal for the “Center for Atomically Precise Fabrication of Solid-State Quantum Devices” has been selected by UT Dallas to receive an award. The center will advance the technology of Hydrogen Depassivation Lithography with particular attention to the atomically precise positioning of dopant atoms in a single atomic Si(100) plane. This is a new and exciting path to realizing analog quantum simulation devices, designer quantum metamaterials and even quantum computing devices and systems.
