N N U University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign CENTER FOR NANOSCALE CHEMICAL-ELECTRICAL- MECHANICAL MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS Nanotechnology: Feynman's "Room at the Bottom" and the Tyranny of Large Systems Richard Feynman's famous essay "There is plenty of room at the bottom" has initiated much interest in nano-science research and many of Feynman's dreams have become reality as semiconductor devices approach atomistic length-scales. It has become clear, however, that any room gained at the "bottom" brings ever growing necessities for the large systems that are felt by design engineers as smothering tyranny. A well known example is the heat generation of VLSI systems. Any resolution of these problems is connected to enormous costs for the chip industry and is therefore only available for the conventional technology and not for new and risky ideas. The problems of scaling novel devices for conventional systems are therefore insurmountable at universities and smaller research institutions and it is natural to look for new and revolutionary systems in connection with new and revolutionary devices. In this lecture, I will discuss two proposals for new types of system design: (i) systems that work in analogy to the biological systems of nature and (ii) systems based on the principles of quantum mechanics e.g. the Quantum Computer. The only working giant systems containing nano-devices are the actual objects of biology.

  • PNP What Is in a Name?
    PNP What is in a Name? Robert S. Eisenberg Department of Applied Mathematics Illinois Institute of Technology Department of Physiology and Biophysics Rush University Medical Center Chicago IL [email protected] July 25, 2019 File: PNP what is in a name July 25-1 2019.docx 1 Abstract and Summary The name PNP was introduced by Eisenberg and Chen because it has important physical meaning beyond being the first letters of Poisson-Nernst-Planck. PNP also means Positive-Negative-Positive, the signs of majority current carriers in different regions of a PNP bipolar transistor. PNP transistors are two diodes in series PN + NP that rectify by changing the shape of the electric field. Transistors can function as quite different types of nonlinear devices by changing the shape of the electric field. Those realities motivated Eisenberg and Chen to introduce the name PNP. The pun “PNP = Poisson-Nernst-Planck = Positive-Negative-Positive” has physical content. It suggests that Poisson-Nernst-Planck systems like open ionic channels should not be assumed to have constant electric fields. The electric field should be studied and computed because its change of shape is likely to be important in the function of biological systems, as it is in semiconductor systems. 2 PNP is a shortened name for “Positive-Negative-Positive” or “Poisson-Nernst- Planck equation”. It was not meant to be just an abbreviation: names are important, beyond their logical meaning, as the world shows us everyday. The name PNP is no exception. The name was chosen to help understand the system it describes. PNP was a pun introduced at the 1993 Biophysical Society (USA) meeting [1] by Eisenberg and Chen [2, 3] to emphasize the analogy between open ion channels and semiconductor devices.

  • Monte Carlo Device Simulation Full Band and Beyond Series: the Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science
    springer.com Karl Hess (Ed.) Monte Carlo Device Simulation Full Band and Beyond Series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science Monte Carlo simulation is now a well established method for studying semiconductor devices and is particularly well suited to highlighting physical mechanisms and exploring material properties. Not surprisingly, the more completely the material properties are built into the simulation, up to and including the use of a full band structure, the more powerful is the method. Indeed, it is now becoming increasingly clear that phenomena such as reliabil• ity related hot-electron effects in MOSFETs cannot be understood satisfac• torily without using full band Monte Carlo. The IBM simulator DAMOCLES, therefore, represents a landmark of great significance. DAMOCLES sums up the total of Monte Carlo device modeling experience of the past, and reaches with its capabilities and opportunities into the distant future.

  • Closing the Door on Quantum Nonlocality
    entropy Article Closing the Door on Quantum Nonlocality Marian Kupczynski Département d’informatique et d’ingénierie, Université du Québec en Outaouais, Case postale 1250, succursale Hull, Gatineau, QC J8X 3X7, Canada; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-819-777-4493 Received: 11 September 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 15 November 2018 Abstract: Bell-type inequalities are proven using oversimplified probabilistic models and/or counterfactual definiteness (CFD). If setting-dependent variables describing measuring instruments are correctly introduced, none of these inequalities may be proven. In spite of this, a belief in a mysterious quantum nonlocality is not fading. Computer simulations of Bell tests allow people to study the different ways in which the experimental data might have been created. They also allow for the generation of various counterfactual experiments’ outcomes, such as repeated or simultaneous measurements performed in different settings on the same “photon-pair”, and so forth. They allow for the reinforcing or relaxing of CFD compliance and/or for studying the impact of various “photon identification procedures”, mimicking those used in real experiments. Data samples consistent with quantum predictions may be generated by using a specific setting-dependent identification procedure. It reflects the active role of instruments during the measurement process. Each of the setting-dependent data samples are consistent with specific setting-dependent probabilistic models which may not be deduced using non-contextual local realistic or stochastic hidden variables. In this paper, we will be discussing the results of these simulations. Since the data samples are generated in a locally causal way, these simulations provide additional strong arguments for closing the door on quantum nonlocality.

Hess ETHZ Advisor: Prof. Dr. W. Fichtner ETHZ Co-Advisor: Prof. Dr. A. Schenk Issue Date: October 4, 2004 Submission Date: April 3, 2005 II Acknowledgments First and most of all, I would like to thank Prof. Karl Hess for giving me the op- portunity to work with him on the challenging topic of quantum information. I have had the benefit of many discussions with Professor Hess on quantum mechanics, in- formation theory and related areas in physics. I would also like to thank Professor Walter Philipp for introducing me to Kolmogorov’s probability theory and Salvador Barraza-Lopes for helpful discussions and commentary. I also wish to express my gratitude to my two supervisors, Professor Wolfgang Fichtner and Professor Andreas Schenk, at the Integrated Systems Laboratory at ETH Zurich. Without the help of Professor Fichtner and the financial support of IIS, this work would not have been possible. Urbana, April 3, 2005 Manuel Aschwanden III IV Abstract This Master’s Thesis addresses the question of what is quantum entanglement. This question is of importance for engineering and information theory because of the pos- sibility of quantum computing. Key to the answer of this question is the debate between Einstein and Bohr relating to this subject. Throughout this thesis the view of Einstein is given special and only consideration. It is appropriate to examine this view 100 years after Einstein’s famous papers that have laid the foundation and given the principles for this debate.

AbstractThis paper examines the history from EPR argument to Bell’s inequality and the influence of Bell’s inequality on the frontier exploration of quantum mechanics. It is found that Bell’s inequality has some Thishidden study assumpti ons different from EPR argument: Following Schrodinger's assumption that the measurement process of EPR experiment undergoes time, Karl Hess regards time as an implicit variable of time series, and Joy Christian obtains a local implicit variable inequality different from Bell's inequality. They extended the relativistic space-time geometric analysis method to the localized geometric morphological analysis of quantum states, and considered that the Bell’s inequality reasoning did not meet the requirements of the completeness of EPR argument. Quantum statistics given by identical particles is different from classical statistics. Innovative ensemble interpretation can also solve Bell's inequality and give a demonstration of quantum non-locality. The main research progress of quantum gravity is great, but there are many divergences. According to Einstein's local realism, the new explanation and expression of quantum mechanics may open up new ideas for the study of quantum gravity.
