Quantum and Nanocomputing

This lecture introduces the concepts of quantum and nanocomputing, covering topics such as molecules as conductive elements for computing, molecular transistors characteristics and fabrication, and the theory on conduction for molecular transistors. The lecture also explores the parameters of molecular wires/transistors, the logic behavior and circuits design of molecular transistors, and the use of molecules and nanomagnets as field coupling elements for computing. Collaborations with the VLSI Nanocomputing Lab @Polito are highlighted, along with the syllabus and recommended textbooks for further study.
