Broadly put, our research is concerned with quantum-effect and single-electron devices, both for fundamental physical studies and for applications. Our techniques usually emphasize high-speed, high-sensitivity measurements performed on nanostructures at low temperatures. Our invention of the Radio-Frequency Single-Electron Transistor (RF-SET), an electrometer capable of measuring sub-electron charges on nanosecond timescales, places us in a unique position to study electrical transport at the single-charge level in a various systems. We are also developing new types of sensors and detectors which employ these capabilities.
