Atomtronic transistor and diode could advance quantum computing

(PhysOrg.com) -- What if atoms could be used to perform the functions currently the province of electronic devices? The goal of atomtronics is to do just that by creating analogues to the common items found in electronic devices. Ron Pepino, a graduate student at JILA and the University of Colorado, believes that he and his colleagues have found a way to create the atomtic versions of diode and transistor circuits. The work of Pepino, Copper, Anderson and Holland is described in Physical Review Letters: "Atomtronic Circuits of Diodes and Transistors."
