Charge Stability Diagrams
In this video, we review the concept of the charge stability diagram as a key type of data input for a significant portion of machine learning tuning tasks. We illustrate different types of charge transitions and the differences between single and double dot regimes.
Prerequisite knowledge
Main takeaways
- The charge stability diagram is a useful visual representation of quantum dot occupation as a function of control voltages.
- We can directly observe charge transitions in the pattern of measured current.
Further thinking
Which of the following is the most accurate description of quantum point contact:
a. An electrode that controls occupation of a quantum dot
b. An electrode that defines a quantum dot
c. An electrode that helps us determine the occupation of a quantum dot
d. An electrode that adjusts all voltages in a quantum dot device
