Abstract
A circuit is disclosed that includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a plurality of quantum dot devices disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. An impedance is coupled to the second electrode and has a value selected to conduct or block conduction of current when a coherent electron conduction band is formed by one or more of the quantum dot devices, such as with quantum dot devices in an adjacent circuit.
