Abstract

One-dimensional electronic systems, either defined by crystallography or topology, are emerging for various application scenarios, including ultra-scaled CMOS technologies and quantum computing. In this talk, I will discuss one-dimensional material platforms for both classical and quantum device applications. In the classical regime, I will present the material growth, device application, and quantum transport of 1D van der Waals material tellurium in its thin film and nanowire forms with outstanding transport properties for next-generation gate-all-around transistors. In the quantum domain, I will demonstrate topologically protected zero-resistance 1D edge states in quantum Hall and quantum anomalous Hall systems, and discuss how to leverage the dissipation-less transport in quantum anomalous Hall insulators for non-reciprocal RF devices compatible with superconducting qubits. This work exemplifies, from an electrical engineer’s perspective, how topological 1D systems can be exploited for future cryogenic quantum devices towards scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing and hybrid quantum technologies.
