Why I am optimistic about the silicon-photonic route to quantum computing (2016, background): “gigahertz [41, 42]) but then are lossy; they can be slow (e.”

Excitonic switches operating at around 100 K (2009, result): “These data are consistent with earlier data on exciton lifetime t in AlAs/GaAs CQW: t reduces (1) at positive V as a result of approaching the direct regime, (2) at negative V because of the escape of electrons and holes from the CQW through the reduced barrier, and (3) at high temperatures as a res”
Ultra-compact silicon nanophotonic modulator with broadband response (2012, methodology): “This overall low loss is a signifi cant improvement over dielectric modulators which require millimeter long interaction lengths [3] ; thus even if their modal loss is much lower than that of the plasmonic MOS mode, smallest line-etch roughness imperfections accumulate over millimeter long distances”
