Materials and Devices with Probes and Beams: Down to the Atomic Level and Back Up

Journal Article · · Advanced Functional Materials
Richard Feynman famously wrote “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Areas in which this statement rings especially true are nanoscience, quantum materials, and quantum information systems – whereby control of matter at the atomic level is a necessary step to enable quantum computing devices, single spin systems, and other devices and applications we can only imagine. However, while the dream of atom-by-atom fabrication has been in the minds of the scientific community for a while, the experimental realization of this dream has been slow.
