Dec. 16, 2010 A research team in the Netherlands fabricated a photodetector based on a single nanowire, in which the active element is a single quantum dot with a volume of a mere 7,000 cubic nanometers.

Dec. 23, 2010 Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology and Eindhoven University of Technology have succeeded in controlling the qubits by a charge or an electric field.
